[389-users] Problems with SSL

[Ski Kacoroski]

Ah, I do not get this error when I connect to the IP, only to the 
hostname.  I am also getting a lot of notices for:

admserv_host_ip_check: ap_get_remote_host could not resolve 10.1.9.10

even though I have defined in the /etc/hosts file and in dns:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
10.9.1.10.in-addr.arpa.	86400	IN	PTR	ldaptest.nsd.org.

Very strange.
