The benefit would be the added convenience of seeing meaningful DNS names instead of numeric IPs for those that prefer this. The added load on stunnel would be trivial for reverse dns lookups on separate process threads.
-----------------
What would be the benefit? It would slow stunnel down.
Thanks,
I guess I could do the equivalent with a batch file; but, was really hoping for
buitin support for this in stunnel. It would be nice to see in the
upcoming 5.00 release as an option.
-----------------
Don't
know on windows, but did a little test with a script to get the hostnames.
First did a test using you records, and then used my current stunnel.log
script
stlog.chk
==================
grep
-Eo '([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}' /var/log/stunnel.log | sort | uniq
>stout
echo
"" >stout2
for
a in `cat stout` ; do
echo -n $a " ">>stout2;
host $a | awk '{print $5}' >>stout2;
done
The
results of stout2 are
127.0.0.1
localhost.
192.168.128.201
3(NXDOMAIN)
Probable
would want to add some code to filter out private address.
Final
step would be to scan original log and add the name on
each
of the lines with an ip.

I
haven't posted on this mail list in a while. Is there anyone still out
there? I hope I'm sending to the correct mail-list. Is there a
better place I can ask my question below?
I'm
pretty sure I can't be the first person who wanted to see reverse DNS name
lookup in the stunnel log. I tried looking in the settings and
documentation; but, didn't see anything related to this.
----- Forwarded Message -----
I
currently have stunnel strip SSL from incoming https connections; which then
passes the connections to a proxy before ultimately reaching my web
server. So, the only easy way to see where incoming connections are
coming from are in the stunnel log.
Below,
is a small example of what my stunnel log looks like (no, those arent the real
IPs ).
The information below would be much more useful to me if it included the DNS
names in addition to their numeric IP.
I
currently have the latest Windows version of stunnel installed. It would
be great to know how to get it to resolve DNS names as well in the log file;
preferably without impeding general stunnel performance. I tried several
debug levels; but none them did reverse DNS lookup. Hopefully someone
know how to do this on a Windows stunnel setup.
