The section involved is about why you can't go from IP address to name.
Assuming that you could make it work once, the point of the section is that
you have to keep doing it every TTL period. It's not the TTL on the name,
but the TTL on the PTR record...
I'm just going to truncate like this (section "Too slow"):
While subsequent connections to the same site (and subsequent packets in
the same flow) will not be affected if the results are cached, the effects
will be felt.
The ACL results can be cached for a period of time given by the TTL of
the DNS results.
