Hi,

Could anyone tell me if Reverse DNS Lookup is enabled by default in IIS 5.0?

TIA,

What do you mean? What's the link between reverse DNS lookup and IIS?

FTP servers (in this case IIS) can be set to only accept connections from hosts that have a valid reverse DNS.

I'm trying to find out if IIS does this by default. I know there is a way to add this functionality via the metabase, but I'm unsure if this feature is enabled by default when you install IIS 5.0

I imagine it's not, since you have to mess with the metabase in order to enable it, but I was just wondering if anyone could confirm this for me quickly. If someone annoys you, walk a mile in their shoes. That way you'll be a mile away from them, and you'll have their shoes :eek:)
