Scott:
I think the problem has to do that 207.156.251.187 does
not have an in-addr.arpa record in your DNS (I checked),
so gethostbyaddr() will return a NULL. A couple of
solutions:
- fix your DNS server configuration
OR
- add 207.156.251.187 somehost to your /etc/hosts on the
server
What MySQL is actually doing can be found in the source,
but I just do not have the time to search. Monty or
someone who has looked at this part of the source,
correct me if I am way off.
