Dear Davide Del Vecchio,

Currently 210.193.16.25 doesn't resolve. But during original test it had
flowed PTR record:

bash-2.03$ host 210.193.16.25
25.16.193.210.IN-ADDR.ARPA is a nickname for 25.16.16.193.210.IN-ADDR.ARPA

(.16 is twice)

This is not necessarily a flawed record; I believe it might be as simple
as the ultimate in classless reverse DNS delegation.  Note that the
16.193.210.in-addr.arpa zone is delegated to ns[12].qala.com.sg, while
this specific "alias" subdelegates the reverse DNS records for
210.193.16.25 to dns[12].lga.net.sg.

G'luck,
Peter
