New Comment:
Traced it down to another "security" bug in Solaris. The problem is
that the IP: 78.130.136.12 does not reverse and forward to the same
address. The below C code will not return a reverse lookup either.
This appears to be a low-level Solaris specific security measure (bug
IMHO) in gethostbyaddr() to stop the resolution of fake DNS info.
Snooping, the network traffic on the lookup you can see it doing a
reverse, then a forward to check the accuracy of the reverse:
DNS C 12.136.130.78.in-addr.arpa. Internet PTR ?
DNS R 12.136.130.78.in-addr.arpa. Internet PTR atlantis.botevgrad.com.
DNS C atlantis.botevgrad.com. Internet Addr ?
DNS R atlantis.botevgrad.com. Internet Addr 212.116.131.138
I'll mark this one as bogus in a few days, unless anyone else can come
up with a good way to get around this?
----- gethostbyaddr() test code (need -lresolv and -lnsl)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
typedef struct in_addr in_addr;
typedef struct hostent hostent;
int
main (void)
{
auto in_addr addr;
register hostent const *hp;
inet_aton ("78.130.136.12", &addr);
hp = gethostbyaddr ((char const *)&addr, sizeof addr, AF_INET);
herror("resolver error");
if (hp)
printf ("%s\n", hp->h_name);
else
printf ("No Reverse DNS for %s\n", inet_ntoa (addr));
return 0;
}

Cannot reproduce:
php -r 'var_dump(gethostbyaddr("78.130.136.12"));'
string(22) "atlantis.botevgrad.com"

Description:
------------
Some IP addresses are note resolved by gethostbyaddr() under Solaris 8.
Solrais nslookup resolves the addresses normaly.
Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump(gethostbyaddr('78.130.136.12'));
The result is:
string(13) "78.130.136.12"
Expected result:
----------------
The result should be:
string(22) "atlantis.botevgrad.com"
