Hello,
our global config of Apache defines:
HostnameLookups Off
So we expected, that the REMOTE_ADDR part (%h) in our logfiles are only
IP-addresses. Now we noticed, that a customer is using a Deny rule with
a hostname rather than an IP-address in his .htaccess file which causes
Apache to resolve REMOTE_ADDR. And once Apache has done that, it
obviously stores the resolved hostname in the logfile rather than the
IP-address.
When I looked at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html recently I saw,
that instead of %h for logging the REMOTE_ADDR %a can be used. Is it
save to rely on an IP-address stored with %a or might there be any
special conditions like with %h?
Regards
Marten
