Traceroute lookup reversing the IP address
Hi guys, wonder if the nerds out there can help with the following query that's left me a bit braindead.

What could be the cause of an IP address being reversed when it has a traceroute performed against it?

As an example, IP address 208.69.34.231 comes up in the traceroute as 231.34.69.208.

This is having problems with domain resolution for a SMTP server one of my colleagues uses to work from home.

And just to clarify, this is happening with DNS lookups, not just traceroutes.

Any ideas chaps and lasses?

Thanks in advance

TM
