Which ones?  OpenSSH does not.  It has a 'UseSSH' option that is often
enabled by default, but all this does is log a message if the PTR name
of the client address doesn't match the address when the name is then
resolved.  Dropbear has it disabled in source code by default.  Tectia
behaves similarly to OpenSSH.

I may be ignorant of context not having been there or having reviewed
any transcripts that may exist.  Is this a non-issue or a more pressing
issue somewhere else perhaps?
