not really. userspacetools can do dns-lookups when executed, but
the  rules inserted into the (kernelspace)  netfilter will NEVER do
any dns-lookups. (and i`m glad nobody even thought about implementing
this :) ).
so  /dev/rob0 is right: use proxys for this kind of  filtering.
even if  you rely on dns-lookups while creating the netfilter-rules
you cant be sure you got ALL entrys in  a rr-dns record AND  after
inserting the rules you  cant beu  sure the entrys  do not change.
