Apache: Disable HostNameLookups

After an upgrade to our infrastructure (see a picture here), the delivery of content through apache was incredible slowly - the reason was that we moved our DNS servers to an external location and had no internal server for this task any more.
After some research we found out that disabling the host name lookup (HostNameLookups = Off) helped to speed up the pages delivery. Now our analyzer will perform the lookup task and we're happy again ;-)
