The logger was one of my primary suspects, along with the connector (of
course). I noticed it was logging the host names in the log.
Should we try to log only the IP address instead of trying to get the fully
qualified name of the host (which is quite convinient, since it makes the
log easier to read). Or maybe we could add a a parameter to configure the
logger to enable / disable host resolution.
