The address reversal database does not support wild card operations; it's too
much of a performance lose in that situation.  (The directory channel can be
argued to support them since use of the directory channel in the first place
is an implicit statement that performance is not an issue.)

The reverse keyword is not what you need to be using; it merely controls
whether or not the reversal mechansims are used for a particular channel.
What you need to be looking at is the REVERSE mapping.
