"209-6-191-48" is an illegal DNS name. (period) RFC1034 says,
The labels must follow the rules for ARPANET host names. They must
start with a letter, end with a letter or digit, and have as interior
characters only letters, digits, and hyphen. There are also some
restrictions on the length. Labels must be 63 characters or less.
Note that "they must start with a letter."
