Good idea.

Got it.  Somebody else had emailed a clue stick off-list.  When I saw
it I felt dumb for not remembering that.

ok I've done all that but nslookup looks weird to me.  Is the cn
supposed to look like that?

===nslookup===
# nslookup 64.1.201.134
Server:         127.0.0.1
Address:        127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
134.201.1.64.in-addr.arpa       canonical name =
134.128/27.201.1.64.in-addr.arpa.
134.128/27.201.1.64.in-addr.arpa        name = itchy.kcjn.com.
