Wouldn't it be better for ZNC to lookup the "Allow"ed domain's record once
(or on every connect attempt), and use that IP, rather than checking the
client?

The reason I suggested it's because I'm on a dynamic IP address where even
the number of the first block can vary, so I'd be as well setting "Allow *"
and to me that seems like it defeats any possible security of the allow
feature anyway...

Currently not possible in znc (dont ask why).

Also, this is a bad idea. $EVIL_PERSON could just set his own PTR record to
whatever a wants and use that for bypassing all your security. Checking the
IP address directly is more secure.
