Summary
DLS Internet Services
isp hosting business
Fourteen of fifteen names were generated from the address; the fifteenth is a machine named after its processor speed.
What it's used for
- A regional provider. 1,792 addresses across five IPv4 prefixes, two observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Three blocks are netname
DLS-CIDR-1and two areDLS-CIDR-3, all registered toDLS Internet Services, Inc. - Reverse names take the form
209-242-58-128.rev.dls.net. - One address answered with
233mhz2.dls.netinstead. - Fifteen addresses were queried and fourteen returned a name.
Interesting
- Naming a server after its clock speed dates the machine to within a couple of years and then keeps saying so forever. The number was a selling point once; it survives as a hostname because renaming a machine means finding everything that refers to it.
- The
2on the end says there was a first one. Someone bought a pair, named them by the only thing that distinguished them from the previous pair, and moved on. - The netnames count one and three with no two in between, which is what a registry looks like after a block is returned, transferred, or was never announced from this AS in the first place.

No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-11-07, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 454 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-11-08. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
