That reverse lookup time is not counted in the first ping.

Perhaps that depends on operating system. In the 30 years I have been using ping on Linux, the reverse lookup time is absolutely included in the first ping time.

If true, that's a bug.

Edit: Assuming this is the right file: https://github.com/iputils/iputils/blob/master/ping.c, I don't see the reverse lookup code anywhere. But then I'm not the most proficient in reading linux code.
