     I'll look into the SVSMODE format someone else mentioned, but Services
WILL NOT be doing nslookups on every host--the possibilities for exploiting
that are so enormous it's silly.  Thus Services also will not support
matching hostnames to exception IPs unless/until ircds start sending IP
addresses with NICK/USER commands.
