I think it would be better to have DNS lookups _disabled_ by default (doesn't
Apache httpd do this?). If someone really needs to get the hostname for
their app, they can take the trouble to enable it, but the "out of the box 
experience" for Tomcat shouldn't be pig-slow for a probably unnecessary
feature. IMHO of course. ;-)
