If the lookup succeeds (i.e. it return OK, with some data) the host is
accepted (the data is ignored). If the lookup fails (i.e. returns FAIL)
the host is not accepted.

No! I'm afraid you have misunderstood how this works. The returned data
is not used. Only the existence of the host name as a key is tested.
