Maxim, we could argue this pedantically all night long and never agree.
However, mod_rpaf is doing exactly what it's designed to do which is to
report the remote IP address correctly. HostNameLookups is *not* a
function of mod_rpaf, it is a function of Apache core.

However... the function works properly in *my* testing as follows.

I created a small php script as follows:

<?php

print ('Your IP is "'.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].'". ');

print ('Your Host is "'.$_SERVER["REMOTE_HOST"].'".');

?>

I turned on "HostNameLookups" in Apache.

Attached is the result.

This is indeed my IP and host.

Why it's not working for the OP I cannot explain, but it does seem to
work *correctly* as does "HostNameLookups" directive.
