Hello, our global config of Apache defines: HostnameLookups OffSo we expected, that the REMOTE_ADDR part (%h) in our logfiles are only IP-addresses. Now we noticed, that a customer is using a Deny rule with a hostname rather than an IP-address in his .htaccess file which causes Apache to resolve REMOTE_ADDR. And once Apache has done that, it obviously stores the resolved hostname in the logfile rather than the IP-address.
When I looked at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_log_config.html recently I saw, that instead of %h for logging the REMOTE_ADDR %a can be used. Is it save to rely on an IP-address stored with %a or might there be any special conditions like with %h?
