The argument against (if the postprocessing is significantly after logging the IPs) is that with dynamic IP adresses, it's not clear how the assignment actually was at the time of logging.
As said: If it's really important to you then the postprocessing must be done right after the request. But log processing can be easily off-loaded and buffered.
Doing the reverse DNS lookup right during processing the LDAP request is asking for trouble.
I also vaguely remember that Howard considered changing the log subsystem for better performance anyway.
Ciao, Michael.
