Synopsis: incorrect hostname lookup for allow/deny directives State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: marc State-Changed-When: Wed Apr 2 17:06:17 PST 1997 State-Changed-Why: The OS isn't always returning a fully qualified hostname.
All Apache does is a gethostbyaddr(); there is no portable way for Apache to say it wants a fully qualified domain name. It is possible to configure Solaris to return a fully qualified name, but exactly how you do that could possibly involve your /etc/hosts file, your NIS setup, or /etc/nsswitch.conf, among other things.
