Yes I get the same answer. But if you used dig with +trace, it didn't 
rely on Comcast servers, it did the lookup starting from the root "." 
servers.

Strange reverse DNS PTR records are easy to come up with. There isn't 
much checking on that since it hardly matters to anyone. It would have 
been very easy for some Comcast DNS administrator to enter it wrong.
