Hi Rickard,
I have never seen this as a problem, but we are fortunate to run a very 
stable DNS service, and most of the ISP's here are good about providing 
PTR's on their networks.

However, I can see where it could become a problem if you have many 
users without proper reverse-DNS set up.  In that case, the lookups will 
have to time-out.  So I can see where disabling that could be helpful.
