    Eir have purchased IP space from the UK Govt.
    Hostname Type TTL Priority Content
    51.171.249.34 SOA 1799 auth01.ns.eircom.net hostmaster@eircom.net 2017032800 28800 7200 604800 86400

    Supposedly that department had a whole /8! Thats 16 Million public IPs. At $6 each its no wonder they sold them.


    The WHOIS databases will update within about three months.
