Your mail subject was a bit misleading.
What you want is to list the reverselookup for the connected IPs of
listener clients.
For a production system on the internet, I wouldn't recommend this.
Reverselookup pointers can be forged.
You don't want to see:
localhost 2342 seconds
localhost 4223 seconds
...

when instead it should show:
23.42.5.1 2342 seconds
5.23.42.1 4223 seconds
...

I don't think it is worth the overhead to add hostname reverselookup and lookup (to validate if it points to the right ip) plus sanity checks etc.

just my 2¢
