Hm, as per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101261
the FC2 glibc (2.3.3-27) should be fixed already (unbreak-patch went
into 2.3.3-10 according to Ulrich).

What glibc version do you use (I have no FC2 box here), and can you
please capture the actual reverse lookups with:

tcpdump -l -s 1500
