Seems to be the same if i make the request to
http://locahost/server-status

the error message in the apache log seems to be the same whether i ask
for loalhost/server-status or 127.0.0.1/server-status. 

(asked for 127.0.0.1)

[Sun Feb 05 18:18:35 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by
server configuration: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/server-status

(asked for localhost)

[Sun Feb 05 18:20:59 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by
server configuration: /var/www/localhost/htdocs/server-status

resolution for localhost seems to work:

nick@sf ~ $ host localhost
localhost.rout.dyndns.org has address 127.0.0.1
nick@sf ~ $ host 127.0.0.1
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer localhost.

More pointers appreciated. I don't particularly need this, it damn
annoys me that it sdoesn't work though.
