Hello,

does this mean the use of a lsearch will ever cause a reverse DNS
lookup?

It would be nice if somebody, with a profound knowledge of the options,
could write a short paragraph for the docu/FAQ. I would sugest a list of
options where IP numbers or wildcarded hostnames are possible and in
which
cases DNS lookups are required.

cu,
Jan
