 |permitted_clients.cfg is our permitted access list file, which contains our

DeleGate does not do reverse lookup of DNS for a host name or an IP address
in HostList when it is prefixed with "-", so your address list file should
be like follows:

-203.45.124.246
-203.45.124.10
...


<URL:http://www.delegate.org/delegate/Manual.htm#HostList>
  DISABLING NAME RESOLUTION ( -host )
    If a hostname (or a IP-address) is prefixed with "-" like "-hostname"
    ("-192.168.1.1"), then no name resolution (reverse resolution) will be
    tried for the hostname (IP-address). This will avoid wasting time in
    resolution trial for a never resolvable hostname (IP-address).
