Nmap DNS resolution screwed up
I've got nmap 4.00 installed on my powerpc box from backports. DNS
resolution for it seems to be a bit screwed up. It seems to be turning the
addresses around before doing resolution:
jeff@genie:~$ nmap -sL 134.173.95.85
Starting Nmap 4.00 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2006-03-17 00:19 PST
Host 85-95-173-134.saransk.ru (134.173.95.85) not scanned
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 4.628 seconds
jeff@genie:~$ host 134.173.95.85

Is anyone else seeing this problem?
