It shouldn't have to. This is all standard stuff already documented in
the RFCs and countless books. Use your favorite search tool and search
for "in-addr.arpa."

Not terribly unexpected. Want to send me an iptrace of a couple of the
attacks? I curious as to which one is targeting you.

>I'm still curious about the response which HOST gave me (above).

Go read the RFCs. Hint: 1035. Like I said, host is a simple version of
nslookup.
