Description

The WMCS NAT address (185.15.56.1) has a reverse pointer record to nat.openstack.eqiad1.wikimediacloud.org, but there is no corresponding forwards record:

taavi@vimpale:~ % host 185.15.56.1
1.56.15.185.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer nat.openstack.eqiad1.wikimediacloud.org.
taavi@vimpale:~ % host nat.openstack.eqiad1.wikimediacloud.org
Host nat.openstack.eqiad1.wikimediacloud.org not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

This causes some systems (such as Libera Chat) not trust the reverse pointer record and instead falls back to the plain IP address.
