I assume (correct me if I'm wrong...) what you are talking about here is apache doing the reverse lookups for logging. We used to let apache do this until I hit some of our sites from unnamed hosts and saw an incredible slowness in downloading just about anything from our webservers. Ping and traceroute showed excellent connectivity, and I figured out the delay was apache doing the lookups and waiting on the timeout... Turning off dns lookups in the apache configs made things fly, and we now run sans dns lookups and let analog do the lookups when it processes the logs. We've since gotten some positive responses from clients coming in from ISPs that don't do revs on most of their dialup connections. Charles
