Hi.

Why is it that you cannot NFS export to a list of IPs and have exportfs 
leave the list of IPs in etab without converting over to FQDN?

In Changelog:

2001-09-20 NeilBrown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
             Anne Milicia <milicia@missioncriticallinux.com>

         * support/export/client.c (client_lookup) call gethostbyadd
         to make sure that we have a canonical hostname, even for
         dotted-quads

Why does mountd need to repeat the gethostbyname() lookup on every host 
even though exportfs already converted over to using hostname?

Thanks,

Jason.
