You'll see 'abo' for 'cable', perhaps? as well as 'cable'. But for most
abo = short for "abonnement", that is, "subscription" / "subscriber" Just means its a pool of IPs assigned to users, I guess.
Dunno. Don't have many examples of those, as I block most traffic from there, and what I didn't block didn't often have rDNS anyway. The one net.cn example I have, nova, named all of their rDNS with user.nova.net.cn - yep, that's it - what every host is named.
And there's a vietnamese ISP that was clever enough to give the same rDNS - "localhost" - to all their IP space. Don't know which one of the three ISPs there does this, but as APNIC 20 is in Hanoi, I'll most likely find that out for myself.
I was actually bored enough to figure that out one day: [FT@fenrir G]$ dig +short -x 203.160.1.66 -x 203.160.1.67 -x 203.160.1.68 -x 203.160.1.69 localhost. localhost. localhost. localhost.
