+55. Some experimental protocols are using DNS PTR records for new purposes. The
+    keys for these records are domain names, not reversed IP addresses. The
+    dnsdb lookup now tests whether it's key is an IP address. If not, it leaves
+    it alone. Component reversal etc. now happens only for IP addresses.
