Okay. 3.1.6 has a problem looking up rDNS. If you need this, grab
the package from Testing/Wheezy, it is a lot more stable than the

Thanks, that sorted it.
For future reference, was there any way I could have found this
without having to bother the mailing list?
Thanks
The Debian changelog and bugzilla have mentions of the problem and
packages uploaded to Unstable which resolved it "issue with IPv6
resolution in access.log" as the byline. There is a thread or two here
in the mail archives (user and dev lists) of how the problem got
diagnosed.
Nothing particularly easy to spot, but findable through the front page
of google if you search for it. And of course there is now also your
query wording and results in the archives for others later.
