Actually, Get_External_Ident when enabled allows you to use the IDNT command before logging in to specify your identity response. It's primarily used by BNCs.

Dynamic_DNS_Lookup is used to control the new dynamic hostmask feature.

I should probably add 0 as a special case to not send any request, but for right now just add set Ident_Timeout = 0 which means the ident request gets sent, but it doesn't wait around for the reply.

There is currently no way to disable reverse hostname resolving, although you could make the hostname cache time (Hostname_Cache_Duration) really large to essentially disable duplicate lookups.
