[Bug 47435] New: mod_authz_host does reading of /etc/hosts on each request

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=47435

Summary: mod_authz_host does reading of /etc/hosts on each
request
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.11
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: mod_auth
AssignedTo: bugs[at]httpd.apache.org
ReportedBy: astle[at]lokku.com
CC: astle[at]lokku.com


It looks to me like that config like so:

<Directory /my/dir>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all

Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

causes apache to read /etc/hosts on every request in the specified directory.

I didn't expect that IP-address-based ACLs would require a "double reverse"
lookup (as is very nicely documented for hostname-based ACLs).

Two notes about bugzilla itself:

* I think this is specific to mod_authz_host but I don't see that in the
component list.

* Was not clear to me which is the highest priority P1 or P5. I think this
should probably be the lowest or 2nd lowest priority. A note on priority here:

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html

would help.
