On the other hand, on my servers i often use 0.0.0.0 as address, so nsd
listens on all registered interfaces. For me it sound more logical then
trying to determine what IP address i am resolving to, if no specific
then listen on all.

OK. This makes sense only if there is no hostname assigned
to the nsssock. Because if it is, the reverse-lookup has
absolutely no meaning, and is shooting ourselves in the
foot.
Therefore I'd do that reverse lookup only if no hostname
is defined to nssock, like this below.
Is this OK for everybody?
------------------ driver.c:Ns_DriverInit()
host = Ns_ConfigGetValue(path, "hostname");
bindaddr = address = Ns_ConfigGetValue(path, "address");
defserver = Ns_ConfigGetValue(path, "defaultserver");
/*
* If the listen address was not specified, attempt to determine it

*/
if (address == NULL) {
he = gethostbyname(host ? host : Ns_InfoHostname());
/*

/*-------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ -------*/
if (host == NULL && he != NULL && he->h_name != NULL &&
strchr(he->h_name, '.') == NULL) {
he =
gethostbyaddr(he->h_addr_list[0],he->h_length,he->h_addrtype);
}
/*
* If the lookup suceeded, use the first address in host entry
list.
*/
if (he == NULL || he->h_name == NULL) {
Ns_Log(Error, "%s: could not resolve %s: %s", module,
host ? host : Ns_InfoHostname(), strerror(errno));
return NS_ERROR;
}
if (*(he->h_addr_list) == NULL) {
Ns_Log(Error, "%s: no addresses for %s", module,
he->h_name);
return NS_ERROR;
}
memcpy(&ia.s_addr, he->h_addr_list[0], sizeof(ia.s_addr));
address = ns_inet_ntoa(ia);
/*

}
}
