Are you referring to the recent '550 Access denied' from hub.freebsd.org?
If so, there must have been something else going on because our gateway
has always reverse resolved, and still does.  Even from freebsd.org:

$ nslookup 203.108.138.66 freefall.freebsd.org
Server:  freefall.FreeBSD.ORG
Address:  204.216.27.21

Name:    ns.dtir.qld.gov.au
