Under NCSA, you can have DNS resolving set to ON, OFF, or MINIMAL. Minimal is like OFF for for logging purposes (only IPs are logged), but will resolve names in any other place where authentication based on domain names takes place (e.g., ). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: See NCSA sources for ideas on how to implement a "minimal" mode for HostNameLookups >Audit-Trail: From: Dean Gaudet To: Morgan Davis Subject: Re: config/860: NCSA Incompatibility: HostNameLookups Date: Sun, 13 Jul 1997 19:56:21 -0700 (PDT) We've got a proposed patch for this functionality already for 1.3-dev. Thanks for bringing it up though.

The docs have been updated to note this difference. Dean >Unformatted:
