This isn't a lapsed domain registration issue; we're not talking about A
records.  It doesn't strike you as odd (read 'a security issue') that the
PTR records have been changed?

Well, a PTR can point *anywhere* as long as you control the zone.  The only
thing that made it remotely interesting was this SOA:

102.108.206.in-addr.arpa. 0     IN      SOA     pluto.bell-nexxia.net. help.bell-nexxia.net. 2003110400 28800 7200 
604800 86400

It's interesting that googling for 'bell-nexxia.net' doesnt actually hit anything.
Who did you THINK  owned that domain and address space?
