Apache DNS lookup

[budlight]

I can't figure out how to configure my apache so that it doesn't perform DNS lookups. /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf shows that

HostnameLookups Off

but in both the domlogs and the apache status (within WHM) it seems to be resolving these ips. Yesterday my isp's caching dns servers became slow and it slowed my site 50x. I want to disable all reverse lookups so my site's speed won't be dependent on any dns issues.

I assumed you wanted the ISP not to cache the pages, ya?

If so, look for CACHENEGOTIATEDDOCS and make sure you add a # in front of it, you should be able to find it under httpd.conf

I simply don't want apache doing reverse lookups. Maybe that is more clear?

also by ISP I mean dedicated server host.

That option was also already commented out

this is what i'm talking about

i think it should be showing ips only. showing rdns means that somewhere an rds is being performed which I want to eliminate

does no one else have this problem? This is a huge issue for me.

Do you have any .HTACCESS files setup in the account?

If you use any access control commands by hostname in a .HTACCESS file
then the connections for that account will automatically start performing
hostname lookups

In example:

<Files *>
  Deny from aol.com
</Files>

If I put that in the .HTACCESS on any account, my server would begin
performing hostname lookups of all connections because I told it
to block connections coming from "aol.com" instead of a numeric IP.

oddly enough I thought I was doing this right.

order allow,deny
deny from 38.98.120.74,72.21.39.242	
allow from all

I removed that and now it works fine. Did you ever find a proper way to block just ips? That 38. ip is this annoying ass scraper website, that hits my site more than google http://shopwiki.com/ is what is hosted there. Anyway I extend much gratitude to you for helping me fix this.
