I was connected to my webserver today (viewing from the server) and my IP got resolved as:

<a href="http://mainframe-g4-400.local/"; target="_blank">http://mainframe-g4-400.local/</a>;

I've seen it resolve from the IP to the expanded ISP url, but this is new. Is this due to rendezvous?

    Yes, the ".local" pseudo-domain is used by Rendezvous' multicast DNS for link-local adresses.
