If you're using dstdomain/dstdom_regex, and the user puts an IP address
in the URL, you cannot avoid the reverse lookup.

If you're worried that the reverse lookup adds some delay, then I suggest
putting this in /etc/resolv.conf:

        server 127.0.0.1

Then, since don't have a name server running on the machine, the
lookup fails quickly.
