It doesn't strike you as odd (read 'a security issue') that thePTR records have been changed?
Bell's ARIN records show 102.108.206.in-addr.arpa delegated to nameservers named under bell-nexxia.net, which is a zone that Bell do not currently run.
If you believe the dates returned by whois.crsnic.net, "bell-nexxia.net" was only recently registered, while "bellnexxia.net" was registered in 1999.
Maybe someone at Bell typo'd nameserver names when they filled out the paperwork for 206.108/20, and someone else got fed up with waiting for them to fix it (and hence the reverse DNS for these blocks).
