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.
