IP-HOSTNAME Conversion Problem

| Hi,
I found many utilities in the web or rather the internet to resolve ip
address and host names , i took this example
host name : mp3.box.sk whose IP was resolved to be 69.31.81.51
now i took the same ip and tried to resolve the host name, for my
surprise i found that to be
colo-69-31-81-51.pilosoft.com which is not mp3.box.sk for sure, can
anyone explain as to why this problem is caused?

There isn't a one to one mapping from host names to IP. I have two
websites with two different domain names, but they're hosted on the same
server, and so resolve to the same IP.
