   14+0:~ $ host vuxml.freebsd.org
  vuxml.freebsd.org is an alias for web.geo.freebsd.org.
  web.geo.freebsd.org has address 192.184.138.215
  web.geo.freebsd.org has IPv6 address 2001:5a8:601:4b::50:3
  web.geo.freebsd.org mail is handled by 0 .
   15+0:~ $ host 192.184.138.215
  215.138.184.192.in-addr.arpa is an alias for 215.208-223.138.184.192.in-addr.arpa.
  215.208-223.138.184.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer wfe0.son.freebsd.org.
