DNS Lookup for X logins

One of the features of enhanced security seems to be a lookup
of IP address to the DNS before allowing a person to connect.
I'm assuming this is because I have to make an entry in the
/etc/auth/system/ttys for the system name. Is there any other
way to not have to rely on the DNS? Putting the name in the
hosts file does not help for this. Thanks, will summarize.
