    There is no builtin to do that.  To my knowledge connection_name will
    always return a name unless the DNS lookup fails.  This is something
    I'd like to see in the next version of the server, have it all IPs
    and a DNS function.  (It'd make (black,etc.)listing work better, and
    cut most lists of hosts size in half)
