Every reverse name says which protocol version the address belongs to, which the address already says.
What it's used for
- A provider's network. Two IPv4 prefixes announced from Spain, no IPv6, ten thousand two hundred and forty addresses, through a single observed BGP neighbour.
Notable
- All six queried addresses answered, each the four octets hyphenated, then a label naming the protocol version, then the brand's domain.
- Both netnames follow the registry's template of country code, brand and date, and the two dates are about eight years apart.
- Both blocks list the company under its legal form and its own operations centre, with no abuse role separate from those.
- Ten thousand addresses on two announcements behind a single upstream.
Interesting
- Putting the protocol version into a reverse name is redundant on its face, since an address of that shape can only be one version. It exists because the zone was built when adding the other version looked imminent, and a parallel set of names was going to be needed.
- Two blocks, one upstream and a large address holding is the shape of a provider that grew by buying space rather than by connecting to more networks. Resilience and address count are separate decisions, and this network made only one of them.

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: 440 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. 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.
