Strictly speaking, in DNS-speak the "reverse lookup of an IP..." is a PTR lookup. The "reverse lookup of an IP mapping to example.com" is doing a PTR lookup and matching it against example.com. I could be wrong generally, but at least none of the RPZ features which I use generate additional DNS traffic; an RPZ implementation which did would exceed my personal threshold of least surprise.

You might consider taking discussion of this to the RPZ interest list or searching the archives: http://lists.redbarn.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsfirewalls
