If I understand you correctly, that would be a major change to current 
behavior.  I believe that people expect a configuration like

deny from .badguy.com

to allow access from unknown IP addresses (IP addresses that have no 
reverse lookup).  Obviously, this is not at all secure, but that is how 
it has always been, and it is the way I would expect it to work.
