Unfortunately, these stats do not include DNS lookups - where your visitors
are from, or steps - what your visitors do. You can turn DNS lookups on,
but it uses a lot of CPU time when analysing the logs. Not sure whether
Webtrends looks at path (the summary doesn't) or steps through a site, but
Summary Pro (http://summary.net) certainly does.
