That would have meant a compromise of DNS servers in at least two
domains. :-)
Nevertheless, I checked all for machines where this happened and for
two of them I know the IP addresses by mind and they didn't change.
And the other three look at least familiar.

It was always 1.2.3 (from the offical Debian Wheezy package) on the
client side and 2x 1.2.3 (same package) on the server side and 3x
1.2.2 from Debian Backports on the server side.

Looks like the latter. I captured this on the client side:
# tcpdump -i wlan0 host 78.46.73.201
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on wlan0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 bytes

Nevertheless, the top line of that mosh session (and I only have one
to that host) still says "mosh: Last reply 26184 seconds ago. [To
quit: Ctrl-^ .]"
