About this network

The reverse DNS spells the company's legal name into every hostname, corporate suffix included.

What it's used for

• An IT services and infrastructure company's network. 512 addresses across two IPv4 prefixes, with one observed BGP neighbour and no IPv6 announced.

Notable

• 192.31.103.0/24 carries the netname POMEROY-TECH-01, identical to the AS handle.
• 216.68.84.0/24 carries FUSE-NET-BLK-1 and is registered to Altafiber, with a second name for the same carrier appended after a semicolon.
• Three sampled addresses answer with the company's full name and the address written into the hostname, under the carrier's domain.
• Six addresses were queried for reverse DNS and three returned a name.

Interesting

• The generated hostnames are unusually generous. Most carriers publish the address and their own domain; this one adds the customer's registered name, corporate suffix and all, so every address in the block announces who rents it.
• The carrier record carries two brand names at once, the current one and the one the product is still sold under. Networks rename faster than their registry entries and their reverse DNS zones, and here all three states are visible in one record.
• Reusing the AS handle verbatim as a netname is the tidiest convention seen in this range: one identifier, two places, nothing to reconcile.
• A single upstream for a company that runs infrastructure for its own customers is a thinner arrangement than the business it supports would suggest.
