Detailed Description

An entry in the hostname hash table cache.

Host name cache does two things:

• caches host names to save DNS look ups;
• counts errors from IP.

Host name can be empty (that means DNS look up failed), but errors still are counted.

The hostname is validated and used for authorization.

char Host_entry::m_hostname[HOSTNAME_LENGTH+1]

One of the host names for the IP address. May be a zero length string.
