> The o.a.s.security.impl.ReferrerFilter initializes the
> getDefaultAllowedReferrers() with the hostnames of the local interfaces. I
> doubt that this has any meaning in a productive environment, as the server
> most probably runs behind a loadbalancer or proxy. the problem with this
> initialization is that it might result in a reverse DNS lookup, which can be
> very slow.
> suggest to remove the hostnames from the default referrers:
