Access control based on the reverse lookup of an IP address is a
dangerous idea in general. Anyone who manages their own reverse DNS
could bypass the security simply by creating a DNS entry. If someone
controls the in-addr.arpa zone for a particular IP range, they can make
those IPs resolve with any FQDN they want, even with domains they don't
own.

Interesting! Thanks!
