addresses must be entered as seen by the server.  i.e. if coming in with a
hostname, then the hostname must be listed (host.domain.com); if coming in
with a numeric ip number (128.23.146.23), then the ip number must be listed.

try the following:

in httpd.conf, "HostnameLookups on"

this, i believe, is generally used only for logging purposes, etc... but,
it does force a reverse lookup.

try it; check the apache faq and docs at www.apache.org

hope this help.
