I 've checked just now from

[cut]
20 extra.gc.lviv.ua (212.109.34.132) 298.678 ms 287.699 ms 289.518

It resolved this IP right!
Woops!
My own traseroute works fine! this means that resolver library is Ok.

132.34.109.212.IN-ADDR.ARPA is a nickname for
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua
But as shows 'host -v -d -t ptr', host gets both ansvers
132.34.109.212.IN-ADDR.ARPA 2402 IN CNAME
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua 21119 IN PTR extra.gc.lviv.ua
but it chouse to show first one, not type of which I specifed (-t ptr).
is this a 'host' bug?
