EDIT: I ran dig on the wrong domain again. Here is the output of
dig gwb43.us

Finally, for the pedantic, what is the PTR of that IP address?
dig 57.20.89.69.in-addr.arpa ptr

Now that I've piped a shell command for you, maybe you can explain what the hubub here is about. Why do you care what whoever owns gwb43.us is doing with it? I still fail to see how that one domain name matters for anything.
