Why would 216.136.44.104 do something like this? ... 14 ip104.44.136.216.in-addr.arpa (216.136.44.104) [AS 4323] 404 msec 400 msec 380 msec
Because the people who run the name servers for 44.136.216.in-addr.arpa, for unknown reasons, have added entries of the form 104.44.136.216.in-addr.arpa. PTR ip104.44.136.216.in-addr.arpa.
