             Summary: Avoid DNS reverse lookup for hostname verification when hostnames are provided in the connection url
                 Key: ZOOKEEPER-3860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-3860
             Project: ZooKeeper
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: security
    Affects Versions: 3.5.7
            Reporter: Ravi Bhardwaj


The current implementation of ZKTrustManager [1], zookeeper tries to verify hostname using the IP first and then performs a reverse DNS lookup. 

This could be a problem when IP address can not be resolved to the hostname added in DN/SAN.

The functionality can be improved by matching the hostname provided in the connection url against DN/SAN. It that can not be matched, try to match the IP address. If that fails then perform a reverse DNS lookup.

An alternative approach could to match the only hostname against DN/SAN when hostname is provided in the connection url.

If IP address is provided, then check with the IP address first. If that fails, perform a reverse DNS lookup and match the hostname returned against DN/SAN.
