And there exists the possiblity of setting the timeout to infinity and
*still* have the reverse lookup fail, since there are plenty of ISPs that
don't bother with setting up PTR records for all their IP addresses.
Now, with that said, you could certainly modify Apache to do multiple
attempts, wrapping the call to getnameinfo() in something like:
/*----------------------------------
; demo code only---for demonstration
; purposes only! You have been
; warned!
;-----------------------------------*/
{
int tries = 3;
int rc;
while(tries--)
{
rc = getnameinfo();
if (rc == 0) break;
}
}
But it's probably best not to do any DNS lookups at all.
-spc (Or, you could modify the resolving libraries ... )
