Egypt calling code is +20 and it was never +2. If you are living in Egypt and you think its calling code is +2 then make no doubt about it, you are not too far from ignorance, you might just be few steps away.

DNS servers should only do recursive lookups for its own network but Link.net prefers to make it open for the whole world.
I reported this problem to link.net dnsadmin today hoping that they will get it fixed.

$ host 196.218.128.1
1.128.218.196.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer host-196.218.1.128.tedata.net.

I have reported this typo mistake to tedata.net 3 days ago but it was not fixed yet. Moreover, PTR records are not enough for complete Reverse DNS, A records should also be created for these hosts.

Jan 09 2007 Update: tedata.net removed the PTR records for this IP block.
Jan 10 2007 Update: tedata.net brought back the PTR records and still incorrect.
July 05 2007 Update: Reported fixed on June 7th in a comment, I just checked and it is fixed.
