But on the other hand, it is much more common to use hostnames for Allow directives than for Deny directives (since the hostname is often under the control of the attacker). You MUST check the forward and reverse for Allow directives, or else they would be worthless. And then it could potentially cause even more confusion if the Allow and Deny directives matched differently.
