Adding a forward-lookup entry won't help much in this case. The easy solution is to make sure you have the IP/name in /etc/hosts, though you could always put in a reverse lookup DNS records as well. I've never run into a problem with apache ever looking for a reverse-lookup myself, so I hope this helps. -b - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
