Reverse DNS Lookup Problem @ vCenter Installation

At the time of the vCenter installation it is always a warning message that is about the reverse dns lookup because only forward lookup is configured by us not the reverse dns lookup and it this message stats some of the services might not work properly but i don't know which services. Is there anyone who can tell me the services name that depends on the reverse dns lookup?

I have read longtime that the inventory service and Search service in a vCenter depends highly on the dns both ways. And these two services might be affected. I can also tell that if you trying to access through web based, then reverse and forward need to be configured properly

Means these services will not work without reverse dns lookup zone configuration.
