dnscache file

I just started on this PERL trip so I get lost every now and then.

We have quite a few PCs that aren't registered so they end up in the
unresolved category.  I was trying to code a range in the wwwstat
program, but I'm not having any luck.  Is there a way to solve for a
range of IPs such as xxx.xx so that anything starting with xxx.xx will
be resolved?

Also, I didn't have DNS resolving turn on in the Web server for the
first few months.  So I have log files without DNS listed and I want to
get them resolved.  I looked through the wwwstat documentation but
couldn't find anything about the cache.  I turned it on in the "rc"
file, created a empty file and provided the location in the "rc" file. 
When I run wwwstat I get the error "No dbm on this machine at ./wwwstat
line 1340".  How do you start a dns cache from nothing?
