rsync - Nov 2007 - DO NOT REPLY [Bug 5067] New: hosts allow - Forward Host Name Lookup

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5067

           Summary: hosts allow - Forward Host Name Lookup
           Product: rsync
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: wayned@samba.org
        ReportedBy: paul@completewebservices.com.au
         QAContact: rsync-qa@samba.org


Currently the 'host allow' configuration option does a reverse lookup.

It would be more useful if rsync could do a forward look up of the host and
match the IP Address agains the look host name.

This allows for the rsync directory to be secured via a service such as
no-ip.com.

Support for this has been added to the 3.1.0dev source.  A config item to
disable forward lookups (on a per-module basis) was also added.
