Appears where, as an error message, in files?

nslookup
Default Server:  helium.bc.tac.net
Address:  209.53.4.130
> ns1.gaiserco.com
Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ns1.gaiserco.com
Address:  207.191.77.178

> 207.191.77.178
*** helium.bc.tac.net can't find 207.191.77.178: Non-existent host/domain

Looks like there is no reverse DNS set up for the IP.

Cheers,
