Hello,

DNS names won't work here;
because the connection is made by an IP host,
for this a reverse DNS request would be neccessary;

the apache log files also also don't contain DNS names, just IP addresses;

I wouldn't do this, because this decreases performance;

I am using some htaccess files to control access to a few web pages.

The htaccess file works if I use the ip address of the computer to grant access, but not its name.

Is there another setting to enable for "Allow from computername.domain.name" to work like using the ip address "Allow from ###.###.###.###" ?

Order deny,allow

Deny from all

Allow from computername.domain.name //this does not grant access

Allow from ###.###.###.### //this grants access

The computers and the server are all on the same network

Thanks

Marc
