"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." -- Crist J.
