IIWY I'd still use the Botnet plugin.

The absence of reverse DNS gives you three problem:

   1. You have no test for the absence of rDNS

why that when SA makes the dns request itself?

in fact in that case you *really* have the capability to distinct between absence (NXDOMAIN) or dns-error which you don#t have by parsing headers with no clue where the "unknown" is coming from

   2. You have no test for the absence of full-circle DNS

should be possible

   3. You have no test for dynamic rDNS

why that when SA makes the dns request and so have a rDNS?

If I'm understanding it correctly, the patch only fixes 1, Botnet fixes
all three

honestly SA should by making the rDNS request itself be able to just act identically as if it was error prone parsed out of headers which did not contain the information what is why it's done directly
