as previously mentioned, it's sshd: not ssh:

ssh will do reverse dns lookup when:

	/etc/hosts.allow
		sshd : paranoid

	- or -

	/etc/hosts.deny
		sshd : paranoid 
		all : paranoid

		"paranoid" will for the reverse lookup

	- you can use the allow/deny with "except" and 
	do the double negative too
