I haven't run or tested the code. The above format is commonly associated with reverse DNS lookup.

I'm not sure of the purpose of the code. It may be to get IP addresses for public Internet hosts. To get private IPs for private hosts, at the very least the code would have to make use of a local (private) DNS server.
