           Summary: mod_authz_host does reading of /etc/hosts on each
                    request
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.2.11
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: mod_auth
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

It looks to me like that config like so:

<Directory /my/dir>
  Order deny,allow
  Deny  from    all

  Allow from    127.0.0.1
</Directory>

causes apache to read /etc/hosts on every request in the specified directory.

I didn't expect that IP-address-based ACLs would require a "double reverse"
lookup (as is very nicely documented for hostname-based ACLs).

Two notes about bugzilla itself:

* I think this is specific to mod_authz_host but I don't see that in the
component list.

* Was not clear to me which is the highest priority P1 or P5.  I think this
should probably be the lowest or 2nd lowest priority.  A note on priority here:

would help.
