STAF currently requires that it can successfully do a reverse lookup on
the hostname. This is important for people using DHCP as the dynamic IP
address changes often so some people need to use the host name to
determine the STAF trust level, etc. We have an open feature request,
#1346181 "Add option to make STAF _NOT_ lookup hostname", that we'll look
at implementing sometime in the future. If that feature would be helpful
to you, add a comment to it explaining why. If you needed this feature
implemented sooner, feel free to look at the STAF source code and
implement a change to allow configuring STAF to disable hostname lookup
and contributing it back to the project.
Note that if you are use a IP address when submitting a STAF service
request, STAF initiailly makes the connection via the IP address. But,
once STAF is connected, it tries to fill in some data about the remote
side, including its hostname (for which we do a DNS lookup). This happens
on both ends of the connection (i.e.g when STAFProc receives the
connection, via an accept(), it will try to get the hostname of the client
on the other side). It seems reasonable enough on the client side to not
do the hostname lookup if you specify the IP address to begin with. But,
I'm not sure what the best way would be for STAFProc to determine whether
it should do the hostname lookup (perhaps via a configuration setting in
STAF.cfg?)

[staf-users] Need Suggestion
Hi,
I?m trying to test a gateway product with different networking protocols.
As STAF uses hostnames for end-end communication, it?s giving me hard time
in testing the product where DNS is involved
Even if i automate, most of the time i had to do some system configuration
manually.
Can any one suggest me some ideas?
I was thinking, how can i disable hostname lookup in STAF communication.
Thanks in advance,
Sairam
