The proper use of dig of an IP address (for example, 192.0.2.53) is "dig -x 192.0.2.53". This changes the query to a type PTR for 53.2.0.192.in-addr.arpa. By default dig queries for A, and "dig 192.0.2.53" will cause a recursive server to ask the root servers for a "53" top-level domain. The fact that ICANN has not yet tried to turn all-numeric TLDs into money makers notwithstanding, there is no protocol reason why it cannot be done. > address.
