[lug] Suspicous: "host"/"DNS" Showing Odd Results (Fedora)

Could your router be compromised? There's some malware that redirects DNS
to point to its own servers. Possible uses are MITM attacks, capturing
clicks (they resolve the click farms(?) to point to their own click farms),
etc.

I don't remember both Comcast servers (I inserted my own pi-hole to block
ads so I only kept one, as fallback) but I'm pretty sure one is
75.75.76.76. They certainly shouldn't be reserve-resolving to a non-comcast
hostname.
