route to behosting.com

Actually, me bad. It is the nameservers they use for
their clients:
ns5.behosting.com 208.56.139.155
ns6.behosting.com 208.56.138.142

I cannot reach either from many nets on the west coast,
and the traceroutes die very early:

From usenix.org:

12-% traceroute -n 208.56.139.155
