We have recently moved hosters for this service and forgot to set the
reverse record. This has been done now because publically, the new
service happens to be visible on a single exclusive IP, so I set the
reverse entry for now:

$ host 74.208.110.124
124.110.208.74.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer apps.owncloud.com.

Just note that reverse lookups are not indicative of anything,
especially if they are not being validated both ways. Also, the mapping
IP<->host is not bijective due to Round Robin DNS and/or vhosts. Also,
it may change at any time and we under a new setup, we might not be able
to uphold setting the reverse records.

Cheers,
  Daniel
