No.  I believe 'w' will tell you the reverse DNS (when logged into the
mirror).

It's a little trickier if the IP is actually a NAT address and not a real
one, because then reverse DNS won't work at all.  You might have to turn
off reverse DNS lookup in this case, and see if you can do IP-only
authentication--I'm pretty sure there is an option to do this.
