[users@httpd] logging question

Is it possible to log both IP address and hostname to the apache logs?

Thanks!

Take a look at this:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_log_config.html#customlog

Looks like %a and %h might do what you're asking.

Its a funny request, the answer is yes, but remember the fact that
hostnames appear at all is due to apache having
DNS resolution switched on - which is bad obviously.
Also remember that hostnames can change, why not resolve them later
anyway, which for performance and security reasons is better.
