Your biggest issue will be if your users are using DHCP and the ip address
is reassigned to a different user by the time the lookup happens. This
assumes that you DHCP servers and DNS servers communicate when a DHCP
request is satisfied. About the only way would be to do lookups at sign on
time - and if the DNS isn't dynamically updated, even that won't help.

One option is after announcing to your users you lock down the use of non
secured access and allow the Incident tickets to determine who was
impacted.
