Since upgrading to the latest verion of mod_perl I've noticed that I get
remote host names appearing in my access logs rather than IP addresses (in
80% of entries).
My concern is that my machine is try to perform DNS lookups, and the
subsequent load it may add.
My httpd.conf has-> HostnameLookups Off
Could it just be that many browsers are supplying their remote host in their
request .. if so, why have I not seen it before ?
None of my scripts query $REMOTE..... values.
Perhaps my recompilation of Apache triggered something I'd not had enabled
before.
