Not within wwwstat.  You could program a routine to do IP masking based
on the network mask, but it would be easier to just register the PCs
within your DNS.  You want to do that in any case, since lack of a DNS
name for an IP address will result in slower responses from servers that
do reverse DNS lookups.

That is done automatically if the file is not already present.  You
do not want to create an empty file. Your perl must support dbm files
in order for it to work (see the perl documentation/books for info
on how to install that with the perl interpreter).
