Need help with IP addresses returned by “host” command

[mjm4]

This is all on my personal computer running 10.4.11

Typing hostname I get: xxxxx-Computer-3.local
Typing host xxxxx-Computer-3 I get:

xxxxx-Computer-3 has address 64.158.56.56
xxxxx-Computer-3 has address 63.251.179.56
Host xxxxx-Computer-3 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Host xxxxx-Computer-3 not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

nslookup doesn’t return anything, and it shouldn’t.
dig doesn’t return anything either, and it shouldn’t.

But where is the 64… and 63… addresses coming from. I’m running behind a cable router using private addresses from a dhcp server. 64… and 63… aren’t even the range from my cable ISP.

Thanks.
