Hello Yann,

ylavic: I would have liked more (doc) emphasis on the lower security of
  "Require forward-dns" vs "Require host"'s double DNS lookup

How about adding something like:

From a security perspective, getting access to a protected page is somehow
easier with "forward-dns" because the attacker needs only to control the DNS for the domain, while they would also need to control the reverse DNS with "host". Now, if you have important confidential data, they would not be only protected by host-based authorizations, would they?
