That is subtly wrong:

yes => require a client certificate, and use the certname
any => do not require a client certificate.  use the certname if a certificate 
is offered, or the reverse IP lookup otherwise
no => same as any

>From my understanding, the auth option does the following:

    auth no: only look at hostnames/ips(?)
    auth any: look at both

So "yes" and "no" bear no relation to what is being done.

I'd like to suggest the following:
    auth clientcert
    auth hostbased
    auth any
