From: NeilBrown <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>
When logging authentication requests, it can be easier to read the logs
if clients are always identified by IP address, not intermediate names
like netgroups or subnets.
To allow this, add --cache-use-ipaddr or -i which tell mountd to always
enable use_ipaddr.

+.BR \-i " or " \-\-cache\-use\-ipaddr
+Normally each client IP address is matched against each host identifier
+(name, wildcard, netgroup etc) found in
+.B /etc/exports
+and a combined identity is formed from all matching identifiers.
+Often many clients will map to the same combined identity so performing
+this mapping reduces the number of distinct access details that the
+kernel needs to store.
+Specifying the
+.B \-i
+option suppresses this mapping so that access to each filesystem is
+requested and cached separately for each client IP address. Doing this
+can increase the burden of updating the cache slightly, but can make the
+log messages produced by the
+.B -l
+option easier to read.
