Probably not. AuthHosts is a security measure, and DNS lookups are easily
spoofed. IP addresses are harder to fake and still successfully continue
the attack (if the connection claims to come from a fake address, the
server packets won't go to the spoofer's machine).
As always, if I've misrepresented something, security or network
specialists are welcome to correct me.
