[users@httpd] HostnameLookups Off yet hostnames being logged
For some reason, since about midday on the 1st Oct Apache 2 on our test
server has been logging the hostnames instead of IP addresses in access.log.
I've not installed/re-installed Apache and have never changed the
HostnameLookups setting, which is set to Off. The only things I can think of
that I've been playing around with in the past few weeks, config-wise, are
rewriterules (same as on the live server, which is OK) and errordocuments.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks

This is almost always caused by using using an Allow/Deny directive
involving a hostname. Apache needs to do the lookup in order to verify
the hostname, and hence has it available for logging.
