ProxyPass dns issues

Hi,
while setting up apache as an ssl proxy to some backend servers I 
noticed that a reverse lookup is performed for each new connection to 
the internal server.

I wondered if it was possible to prevent this but by looking at the 
source code of mod_proxy it doesn't seem so.

As a workaround I've added the internal server's ip addresses to /etc/hosts.
IMHO the reverse lookup should be made avoidable from the configuration 
file. (Maybe it should be made avoidable completely, unless I'm missing 
a possible reason to revese lookup there...)

Regards.
