After a bit more looking, it seems that the GetHostEntry method should
not be used for 'reverse' lookup.

Hmmmmm.

One more...

I have been looking around on the internet for a reason for this
behavior - nothing is popping up.

I am calling the Dns.GetHostEntry(MyIPAddress) method to fill an
IPHostEntry object.  I continue to be puzzled by the result - the
IPHostEntry object never has the same IPAddress as the address passed in
(MyIPAddress).  If I pass the MyHostName instead of the MyIPAddress,
then the correct IP Address is returned.

If anyone else has seen this behavior, what is its reason, please?
