[Herts] Webmin / SSL / FTP(?) and Reverse DNS!

[Oliver Cole]

in-addr.arpa is a kinda posh way of talking about IP addresses, from what 
I gather, the absolutely complete (canonical??) way of talking about IPs 
is 195.92.253.3.in-addr.arpa

On the webmin side... I dont know... have you tried accessing a normal 
HTTP server on the machine? What about when SSL isnt in use? Is that 
faster?
