That's correct, spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com doesn't have an IP
address, but it doesn't need one because SIMS doesn't look up
"spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com", when SIMS checks an IP it actually
looks up an address formed like this:
6.0.0.127.spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com
and that does resolve:

Same if you look up the reverse IP of a major spam outfit
mailgate1.monsterhut.com (64.80.217.9)
9.217.80.64.spamhaus.relays.osirusoft.com
