The reverse DNS lookups are part of the check_access() 
function used when hosts allow.deny is defined.
If only IP addresses are used, then the code should only
match the IP address of the client without attempting to 
resolve the name.  It has nothing to do with the 
'name resolve order'.  

This should be fixed.  I have been meaning to look into it.
