From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: This is the same bug as bugzilla 56580 but for AS2.1 apache instead of stronghold. If ProxyPass directives are used with numeric IP addresses such as ProxyPass http://10.20.30.40/ /foo/ then mod_proxy does reverse lookups on the IP address, which is futile, andcauses unexpected problems (since a good reason for using a numeric IP would be that DNS is not configured correctly!). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): apache-1.3.27-7.ent How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In /etc/httpd.conf, uncomment LoadModule proxy_module modules/libproxy.so AddModule mod_proxy.c add some setting so apache will be a reverse proxy fetching page from a remote host defined with ip addresse such as: ProxyRequests Off ProxyPass /test http://172.16.10.53/ 2. relaunch apache 3. ask for /test/ Actual Results: there is a reveverse query sent to the dns. Expected Results: no reverse query is performed. Additional info: This problem does not appears on RHEL3.
