TIL (from this thread) : You can abuse TLS handshakes to effectively reverse-DNS an IP address without ever talking to a DNS server! Is this built into dig yet? :)

(Alright, some IP addresses, not all of them)

I also wonder if this is a potential footgun for eSNI deployments: If you add eSNI support to a server, you must remember to also make regular SNI mandatory - otherwise, an eavesdropper can just ask your server nicely for the domain that the eSNI encryption was trying to hide from it.
