Only thing I could think of was to see whose name server answers querries
for that block of addresses.  Here's what I tried:

-----------------------------------
$ nslookup
Default Server:  ns
Address:  192.32.125.34

> set type=ns 
> 203.197.220.2
Server:  ns
Address:  192.32.125.34

*** names.lancity.com can't find 203.197.220.2: Non-existent host/domain
> 220.197.203.in-addr.arpa
Server:  ns
Address:  192.32.125.34

*** names.lancity.com can't find 220.197.203.in-addr.arpa: Non-existent
host/domain
> 197.203.in-addr.arpa
Server:  ns
Address:  192.32.125.34

Non-authoritative answer:
197.203.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = svc01.apnic.net
197.203.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns.apnic.net
------------------------------------

So you might want to start there...
