Looking at the logs of my local DNS server, my Linux computer has been looking up 191.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa every few seconds. It also looks up ipv4only.arpa, but less frequently. As far as I know, arpa domains are apart of the DNS system itself? Is this normal?

        Maybe you can run one of those crazy nmap scans to see what it is?

        Or maybe it’s a better idea to figure out why it’s happening in the first place instead hmm

      Oh wait, I just realized that the IP is reversed from what the domain says. I thought it was 191.0.0.10.

      10.0.0.191 is actually the IP address to the computer sending the queries.
