Can anyone tell me why my MX record for the coop-uspto.gov domain are IP 
addresses instead of hostnames?

[klear@dns1 conf]$ nslookup
> set type=mx
> coop-uspto.gov
Server:         10.240.11.20
Address:        10.240.11.20#53

Non-authoritative answer:
coop-uspto.gov  mail exchanger = 5 151.207.128.23.coop-uspto.gov.
coop-uspto.gov  mail exchanger = 5 151.207.128.22.coop-uspto.gov.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
coop-uspto.gov  nameserver = dr-coopdns-1.coop-uspto.gov.
dr-coopdns-1.coop-uspto.gov     internet address = 151.207.240.200

Here is the zone file for coop-uspto.gov
[klear@dr-coopdns-1 named]$ more db.coop-uspto
