Comment-Added:
1.3b2 now does a double-DNS check when the .htaccess mentions
hostnames, no matter what the HostNameLookups setting is.
>From the CHANGES file:
*) mod_access overhaul:
- Now understands network/netmask syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/255.255.0.0)
and cidr syntax (i.e. 10.1.0.0/16). PR#762
- Critical path was sped up by pre-computing a few things at config
time.
- The undocumented syntax "allow user-agents" was removed,
the replacement is "allow from env=foobar" combined with mod_browser.
- When used with hostnames it now forces a double-reverse lookup
no matter what the directory settings are. This double-reverse
doesn't affect any of the other routines that use the remote
hostname. In particular it's still passed to CGIs and the log
without the double-reverse check. Related PR#860.
