Re: SSI resolve IP to hostname

In current conf it is off but if i request this ssi-page of costumer i see 

my resolved hostname.

hmm, i could switch to on but i think it is not recommend. There are more 

domains

served by this apache and i'm afraid of delays at serving the requests.

i have just a little problem with name resolution using SSI. Customer of

is using  and  to show IP and Hostname of Client. It works without
any error, I tried with different ISP. Customer says that his IP could not
resolved to hostname and this field stays empty. I cannot reproduce this
without his IP and i dont want to visit him at home ;) With little PHP and
gethostbyaddr or even on console using host i can resolve his IP to his

hostename. Is there a explaination why SSI could fail or is he just 

kidding

me?
