That's not true anymore (from Ruby 1.9 changelog):

Fri Feb  6 10:12:06 2004  Nobuyoshi Nakada  <nobu@ruby-lang.org>

	* ext/socket/socket.c (bsock_do_not_reverse_lookup): control reverse
	  lookup for every instance.  [ruby-core:02346]

So now you can do:

sock = IPSocket.new(...)

sock.do_not_reverse_lookup= true / false 

So maybe you can change your patch too and then they will accept this patch.
