When you pass a host name such as ip-255-255-255-255.reverse.mobilenetics.com to gethostbyname() it returns the hostname, not the ip address.

Regular hostnames like google.com work.

actually, what is going on is that php's gethostbyname() simply returns the name when it can't be resolved. (that seems like rather silly behavior to me, and is probably worth changing.)

It might be silly behavior... but we can not change this now due to BC issues.
