as long as it does what you need it to do, it is great! ;)

if i might speak as a network security admin and specialist for a moment...

do not trust dns resolved hostnames... by that, i mean that IPs can't be
faked not and have the connection work... IPs are the only truth to where
the connection is coming from... the resolved names can easily be faked if
one has control over their DNS...

to elaborate on that, i have systems trying to drop spam off here... some
of them return "localhost" as the resolved name when i do a
lookup... their intention is to confuse me and make me think that my own
system is trying to do the spamming... some others return "."
which doesn't say much of anything... i've seen other stuff, too, which
just isn't right and shouldn't be being done... given some time, i can
easily provide examples of IPs which you can lookup and see what they
return ;)

if it is possible to disable netfoss' hostname lookups, i would most likely
do so... mainly to speed up the connection instead of having to wait on the
rdns to complete... but also for the above reason... i learned that lesson
not only from spammers but also others trying to hack into my web server
years ago... they do the same thing and at the time i was recording the
FQDN that was returned... i finally turned that off and started recording
only IP numbers and the real culprits were revealed...

good deal :)
