Well, the reason for this are missing NS records:
% whois 63.209.4.196@whois.arin.net
[whois.arin.net]
OrgName: Level 3 Communications, Inc.
OrgID: LVLT
NetRange: 63.208.0.0 - 63.215.255.255
CIDR: 63.208.0.0/13
NetName: LEVEL4-CIDR
NetHandle: NET-63-208-0-0-1
Parent: NET-63-0-0-0-0
NetType: Direct Allocation
NameServer: NS1.LEVEL3.NET
NameServer: NS2.LEVEL3.NET
% dig @ns1.level3.net -x 63.209.4.196
[... no answer ...]
% dig @ns2.level3.net -x 63.209.4.196
[... no answer ...]
Go figure.
ARIN itself says:
% dig @ARROWROOT.ARIN.NET -x 63.209
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
209.63.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN NS NS1.LEVEL3.net.
209.63.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN NS NS2.LEVEL3.net.
% dig @ns1.level3.net -x 63.209
[... no answer ...]
% dig @ns2.level3.net -x 63.209
[... no answer ...]
So they're a really, really crappy ISP. Maybe they're cheap so
everyone uses them...
Regards
Henning
