macomnet weird dns record

Hi Nikolay, I have obvious hit a cultural nerve here, if so I am sorry.
At least there is communication on some level, Chinese colleagues would not even bother to respond to aid debug.

Be that as it may, why not use either normal decimal numbers or normal characters to show what a normal person would understand instead of having to convert the shown output ?
