Hi Sean

I remember you mentioned that although no name lookup is performed here 
the permissions will be calculated correctly, even if they are granted 
to different host strings which are actually equivalent (your new test 
proves this). The URL strings still must be resolved somewhere else to 
make this happen. Can you add a comment on where?

Thanks
Max
