About this network

One zone writes the octets forwards for one address and backwards for the next.

What it's used for

• A business connectivity provider. Four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the Netherlands, three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight addresses, across fifty-two observed BGP neighbours.

Notable

• Most answering names are the four octets hyphenated in order behind a host prefix, but one writes them in reverse: host-128-120-191-195.businessconnect.nl answers for an address whose first octet is the one at the end.
• The address immediately after it, in the same block, uses the forward order.
• The names sit on two domains that differ only in their country suffix, and the blocks announced from one country answer under the other's.
• One name is a router rather than a host, carrying an interface identifier, a device number and site codes.
• One block's registrant is an abuse role with no company named at all, under a netname that is the trading brand rather than the registered one. Another block's registry lookup failed.
• Twelve addresses were queried and nine returned a name.

Interesting

• A zone with both orderings is a zone with two generators. Someone wrote a second template, tested it on one subnet, and the first one kept running everywhere else.
• Fifty-two neighbours on three thousand addresses is a network built to be reachable from everywhere rather than to hold much of anything.
