On the offending machine itself ...

   [root at test ~]# host 192.168.1.6
   host: '6.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.' is not a legal name (unexpected end of input)
   [root at test ~]# nslookup 192.168.1.6
   nslookup: '6.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.' is not a legal name (unexpected end of input)

On the main server in the local network:

   [root at mirror lists]# host 192.168.1.6
   Host 6.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
   [root at mirror lists]# nslookup 192.168.1.6
   Server:         158.152.1.58
   Address:        158.152.1.58#53

   ** server can't find 6.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa: NXDOMAIN

So that does seem to rule out the address beiny anywhere in use on the local
network, doesn't it?
