: Reverse DNS must be explicitly defined. If it is not then the IP will appear. Also, if the office only has one IP address then a whois search will report that the IP address belongs to the ISP. Usually you only see the company if they have a block of IP addresses. If you look me up you will see that even though I have a firewall and you only see one address, I do have a block of addresses. They are all assigned to my firewall, but some of them I use as webservers (like TAC) and therefore have explicitly given them different and unique reverse DNS entries.
