Another option, if you are comfortable using multiple processes or threads, is to perform the reverse DNS lookups in a separate process or thread. Just poll every once in awhile to see whether an answer has been recieved. If you store both the IP address and the reverse DNS text string in separate variables, then if there is no reverse DNS data use the IP address, otherwise use the reverse DNS data.
