Weird. It didn't look like it in my quick checks:

root at surehand root# host 200.58.160.146
Host 146.160.58.200.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
root at surehand root# host bratgrrl.com
bratgrrl.com has address 216.46.203.144
root at surehand root# host www.bratgrrl.com
www.bratgrrl.com is an alias for bratgrrl.com.
bratgrrl.com has address 216.46.203.144
root at surehand root#

Actually, I just assumed that 200.58.160.146 (from the X-Originating-IP: 
header was janus.affordablehost.com.

Maria's tests are obviously far more conclusive.
