I suspect that this is not apache's problem... In the OSI model, Apache works on the application layer so any requests for services from other machines are passed down to the TCP/IP layer for routing. It is there that the DNS lookup takes place. >From apache's POV, all it does is ask the TCP/IP layer to get the hostname for >a particular IP - apache doesn't care about the implementation... > I also looked > in the source code, but was not able to find where this > timeout is set. look in server/core.c; apache uses apr_getnameinfo() which in turn uses the system function getnameinfo() (do "man getaddrinfo" for details) Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. > Either solution is fine for me, however of course a > configuration directive > to set timeouts for HostnameLookups would be much more > preferable.
