No.  As explained previously.  It says unknown because the rDNS entry
(Which is present) doesn't have a forward.  e.g. the reverse is set to
x.y.z.host.com but there is no actual dns entry for x.y.z.host.com
resolving to that IP.  Hence this is a bad check to perform, since most
dialup providers create the rDNS but don't always put in the forward to
match...
