   |  While I agree that allowing clients without DNS entry is necessary,
 
 Same here, personally I think the reverse DNS (IN-ADDR.ARPA or IP6.ARPA)
 has outlived its usefulness, and should be retired completely.   I'd simply
 remove any code from anything which is insisting upon (rather than simply
 looking for) reverse DNS being set up - no added options required.
