[FW-1] URI Resource problem with reverse DNS; how to use a URI Resource without reverse DNS

[Christian Pitsch [Permanent Link]]

Dear guru,

when i try to use a URI resource I have the problem that images and
pages from sites that dont have a DNS entry are blocked.

In the log I find:

Rule:                   0 - Implied Rules

Information:    resource: http://212.162.1.201:80/.....
                        reason: Web security: Reverse DNS request
failed.
                        See Secure Knowledge entry sk20004.

Is there a solution so that the URI-resource can work without reverse
DNS?


I tried the solution of sk2004 but this did not solve the problem.
There are some other objects that might be a solution:
http_enable_resolve_by_ip
http_dont_dns_star_port
Has anyone ever found a documentation of this objects?



thanks

Christian
