HostnameLookups

Perform a DNS lookup to resolve the remote users' IP address to a hostname.

Synopsis

HostameLookups Yes

This is a Yes or No directive. The default is No.

Scope

This directive is only available for use in the global (interchange.cfg) configuration file, and will affect all websites running under the Interchange installation. It will not work in a website's local (catalog.cfg) configuration file.

Description

This directive specifies whether to perform DNS lookups to resolve remote users' hostname from their IP address. Hostnames are required for some facilities, such as RobotHost. Use RobotIP if you want to keep DNS lookups switched off.

Note

If the web server is configured to perform hostname lookups itself then this directive should remain disabled.
