either lynx or leafnode makes a strange DNS request

[Frank Gevaerts <frank@gevaerts.be>]

Hello,

I have installed leafnode on my system, and I use lynx to read news.
Whenever lynx  connects to the newsserver (on localhost), an outgoing DNS 
request is sent to lookup '239.159.129.38.in-addr.arpa', which gets a
negative reply from the upstream DNS server.

AFAIK this is IP 38.129.159.239.

Does anybody know why this DNS request is sent ? It is annoying, since
it makes my ISDN router setup a connection.
