Summary
BusinessConnect
isp hosting business
One zone writes the octets forwards for one address and backwards for the next.
What it's used for
- A business connectivity provider. Four IPv4 prefixes and one IPv6 prefix announced from the Netherlands, three thousand three hundred and twenty-eight addresses, across fifty-two observed BGP neighbours.
Notable
- Most answering names are the four octets hyphenated in order behind a host prefix, but one writes them in reverse:
host-128-120-191-195.businessconnect.nlanswers for an address whose first octet is the one at the end. - The address immediately after it, in the same block, uses the forward order.
- The names sit on two domains that differ only in their country suffix, and the blocks announced from one country answer under the other's.
- One name is a router rather than a host, carrying an interface identifier, a device number and site codes.
- One block's registrant is an abuse role with no company named at all, under a netname that is the trading brand rather than the registered one. Another block's registry lookup failed.
- Twelve addresses were queried and nine returned a name.
Interesting
- A zone with both orderings is a zone with two generators. Someone wrote a second template, tested it on one subnet, and the first one kept running everywhere else.
- Fifty-two neighbours on three thousand addresses is a network built to be reachable from everywhere rather than to hold much of anything.

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: 442 networks and 1,771 prefixes, as published 2026-10-15. 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.
