Description

Would be nice if you could add support for hostnames in the Access List via the ngx_http_rdns_module.

Some of my locations I need to be able to access from have dynamic IP addresses. But if this would added, I could use dynamic dns w/ a hostname to always have access, without having to open it up via HTTP auth.
