If you run djb's dnscache as a local resolving cache, it has this habit
of assigning A records like this ...

suresh@frodo 21:50:33 [~]$ dnsqr any 209.237.12.112
255 209.237.12.112:
48 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
query: 255 209.237.12.112
answer: 209.237.12.112 655360 A 209.237.12.112
