If I go:
	host 194.201.169.65
I get:
	65.169.201.194.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 65.64.169.201.194.in-addr.arpa.
	65.64.169.201.194.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer mailhost.pme.co.uk.

What is going on here ? How can one IP address be an alias for another (in DNS at any rate) ???

And:
	host mailhost.pme.co.uk
gives:
	mailhost.pme.co.uk has address 194.201.169.65


I have never seen this before.
