Hi!

IP addresses don't exactly map to whois data and sadly, reverse DNS upkeep
seems to get worse on a year by year basis [1].  ARIN or a service like
Team Cymru's ASN lookup will at least tell you the netblock owner, who
should at least have awareness of which of their customers are assigned
which bits of their allocation.

1 - Dear LOPSA members,
If you teach a class on system fundamentals,
pretty-please-with-sugar-and-a-cherry-on-top explain to your students how
important DNS is.
Love,
A hiring manager who has never once had an interviewee accurately explain
how DNS works.
