[ic] hostnamelookups on or off?

    I usually run my web servers with hostnamelookups set to off.  After
noticing some oddities with sessions from AOL today, as they moved between
SSL and non-SSL pages, I did a bit of searching and it looks like I should
configure the web server that communicates with IC such that hostnamelookups
is turned on.
    I am wondering if having hostnamelookups set to off will only have a
potential negative effect on non-cookied sessions?  Is the hostname
qualification used with a cookied session?


Thanks,
Jeff
