 A reverse lookup occurs when a server has an IP address (from a client host connecting to it) and wishes to get the corresponding client hostname.
Dave Simons,
Internet Entrepeneur

 This method performs a reverse DNS lookup on the connecting IP address that can cause long delays if DNS has not been set up on the server.
If the reverse DNS lookup failed for any reason, the IMC would use the IP address, and this would never cause the buffer to overrun.
Mike Enlow,
Internet Marketer

 A possible work around to the theft of service attack described above would be to perform a reverse DNS lookup on the ip address returned by the forward lookup and compare the two names.
A Reverse DNS lookup will give you the DNS name of a computer when all you know is the IP address.
This is the reverse lookup table, allowing the DNS Server to reference a Host Name when queried with an IP address.
