It could be you got them wrong... What hosts do you expect to contact?

Mark> If not what hosts are they?

Hmmm...provided that they have been assigned, they could be hosts or
some other kind of device that lives in an IP world.

Let's see if we can find out what their domain names are...

Well, there do not appear to be any PTR records for those addresses.
Given the 18.128.in-addr.arpa domain belongs to relay.cdnnet.ca and
the e-mail contact for that domain should be demco@relay.cdnnet.ca,
you might find out more by asking demco directly.
