As for the Hackage problem, this problem is inherent to CGI, which is what Hackage currently uses. The CGI protocol supplies the resolved client host name to the web application in an environment variable. So the web server (Apache in this case) will always have do a reverse DNS lookup by definition. (Environment variables are strict. Too bad.)
This is not required by the CGI protocol. Apache only provides REMOTE_HOST if the HostnameLookups directive is set to On (the default is Off). So this should be easily fixable. Anders
