?!!
I 've checked just now from
http://www.debug.net/connectivity/?212.109.34.132
[cut]
20  extra.gc.lviv.ua (212.109.34.132)  298.678 ms  287.699 ms  289.518
ms

It resolved this IP right!

Woops!
My own traseroute works fine! this means that resolver library is Ok.

> host -t ptr 212.109.34.132
132.34.109.212.IN-ADDR.ARPA is a nickname for
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua

But as shows 'host -v -d -t ptr', host gets both ansvers
132.34.109.212.IN-ADDR.ARPA     2402 IN CNAME  
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua
132.34.109.212.cscd.lviv.ua     21119 IN        PTR     extra.gc.lviv.ua

but it chouse to show first one, not type of which I specifed (-t ptr).
is this a 'host' bug?
