Access controll Logs and DNS entries

Question

Hello there,
We have upgraded from Border Manager 3.5 to Border Manager 3.8 SP4 on
new hardware. Everything runs fine except a little niggle. When we
view the Access Control logs now all we see is IP addresses there are
no host names. In real time monitoring we can click on DNS Host Name
and get some of the names but most come back Unknown. Under the logs
themselves the DNS host Name option is grayed out. Have I messed up
the configuration in some manner?

Thanks Craig, We are indeed runing the transparent proxy. Is this a
change between 3.5 and 3.8? When we ran the transparent Proxy under
3.5 we were able to see the URL's.
