    Smells of a faulty DNS-setup, and of faulty routing.
    
    Some machine out there thinks you have the DNS for 1.1.192.in-addr.arpa,
    and is trying to resolve 48.1.1.192.in-addr.arpa through you.
    
    At least, that's a scenario I have seen a few times.
    This could be just a typo in an SOA or in the DNS-address specified
    on a specific computer.
    
    I addition, someone didn't get their routing right, 'cuz traffic to and from
    242.x.x.x should not be routed to the Internet, AFAIK.
    
    Cheers,
    Anders :)
