What about using some kind of handler that forks its own lookup routine
outside of apache (or mod_perl, perl, phython, php, etc?)
Thanks,

Hi All,
I posted this one Thursday last week but so far got no answer, so I'll
try
again today.
I have a small problem with some reverse lookups for which I hope
somebody
here might be able to help me with.
Generally reverse lookups work well, but for some IP addresses the
reverse
lookup times out. With the help of our network admins, I was able to
identify the problem. It is a name server problem of the ISP from
which a
host connects. For what ever reason, there is no answer from the
problem
nameserver. With HostnameLookups on, and these problem namseservers,
apache
waits about 12 minutes before sending any data back to the host that
requested the page. On a normal Linux and Solaris command line, an
nslookup,
host, or dig fails within 10 seconds with a timeout.
To get around this problem, I wanted to configure how long apache
waits for a
response, however I have not been able to find such an option. I also
looked
in the source code, but was not able to find where this timeout is set.
Either solution is fine for me, however of course a configuration
directive
to set timeouts for HostnameLookups would be much more preferable.
Does any
one know what directive there is to set, of if there is even one? And
if
there's no directive, where in the source code do I look to set this?
All help on this will be greatly appreciated.
greetings from Austria.
Markus
