Bizarre setup on that IP. # host eth6619.nsw.adsl.internode.on.net eth6619.nsw.adsl.internode.on.net has address 59.167.235.218 # host 59.167.231.218 218.231.167.59.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer ns3.cipaname.com. # host ns3.cipaname.com. Host ns3.cipaname.com. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN) There are some legit static IP servers with a hostname containing /adsl/, so you'll need to watch out for false positives. How much of a problem that is will be site specific.
