PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1
New Comment:
actually, what is going on is that php's gethostbyname() simply returns the name when it
can't be resolved. (that seems like rather silly behavior to me, and is probably worth
changing.)

When you pass a host name such as ip-255-255-255-255.reverse.mobilenetics.com to gethostbyname() it
returns the hostname, not the ip address.
Regular hostnames like google.com work.
