*.in-adr.arpa in nslookup

Because your reverse DNS is broken. I tried looking up a PTR record
for 137.189.169.108 but instead got a NXDOMAIN response. And in either
case, the first octet in the in-addr.arpa address should match the
last octet in the IP - 108 in this case. e220r != 108.

I suggest that you either fix RDNS on sun3.geo.cuhk.edu.hk yourself
(in case you have the rights to do so), or have the administrator of
that machine to fix it for you.
