It almost explains what I have seen, namely DNS activity greatly increased when I started using https. But not quite. The Apache documentation for HostnameLookups indicates there DNS will occur in any case in mod_authz_host is in use. In my case, "Allow from" is used, but only with "none", "all" and partial IP addresses referring to the LAN. Most notably, this use mod_authz_host did not change (at least by me) when I began using https. I presume, therefore, that something else in https caused the change, although I can't be sure of this because I did make substantial structural changes to httpd.config . I therefore revise my suggestion as follows: HostnameLookups Never Simpliciter; use with caution.
