As far as I know, Host objects in the ARIN database do not get put into DNS
(glue records are never needed in IN-ADDR.ARPA).  In any case, that host
object exists because the following network registration references it.
Most likely, it was created by the coordinator of the network, so he should
be able to correct it.
