Is apache httpd configured to disable hostname lookups (for access/error
log)?

If not it is easy to trigger a reverse dns lookup just by connecting to it
(which various scanners / exploiters do regularily).

That's not to say that httpd is vulnerable though, has the httpd project
given any info about their codebase?
