But an option like that *would* make quite a few configurations (e.g. on dynamic lines) "just work". I'm sure Philip will come up with an architectural reason why it's a bad idea or can't easily be done though :) (It would obviously need to keep a cached array of interface IPs -> hostnames. And there is the problem of multiple PTRs, although picking the first one returned would be fair enough, I would think.)
