    Dear Davide Del Vecchio,

    Currently 210.193.16.25 doesn't resolve. But during original test it had
    flowed PTR record:

    bash-2.03$ host 210.193.16.25
    25.16.193.210.IN-ADDR.ARPA is a nickname for 25.16.16.193.210.IN-ADDR.ARPA

    (.16 is twice)

    PTR doesn't resolve back:

    bash-2.03$ host 25.16.16.193.210.IN-ADDR.ARPA
    Host not found, try again.

    Probably this bug may present if host has unresolvable PTR record.

    I don't use mirc and can't confirm it.
