Subject: [PATCH 19/59] Introduce reverse_lookup_enable option.

PAM authentication. You can disable it to prevent
performance issues.

+Default: YES

+.B reverse_lookup_enable
+Set to YES if you want vsftpd to transform the ip address into the hostname,
+before pam authentication. This is useful if you use pam_access including the
+hostname. If you want vsftpd to run on the environment where the reverse lookup
+for some hostname is available and the name server doesn't respond for a while,
+you should set this to NO to avoid a performance issue.
