Ah, Paranoid mode - most useful once upon a time.  I can see cases where
this might still be useful; and it's certainly better to score than to
reject outright.  That said, as others on this list suggest, this
probably will never make it into the native SA development effort.

RW is correct.  The Botnet.pm plugin supports this for IP4 addresses via
the rule "BOTNET_BADDNS":

describe        BOTNET_BADDNS           Relay doesn't have full circle DNS
header          BOTNET_BADDNS           eval:botnet_baddns()
score           BOTNET_BADDNS           0.0
