Actually, it's 172.16/12, and 172.22.3.2 is indeed in it (see RFC 1918,
"Address Allocation for Private Internets"). Such address shouldn't have
leaked into their name server.
A very easy way to check this is to do something like:
[output edited for brevity]
$ whois 172.22.3.2@whois.ripe.net
[whois.ripe.net]
inetnum: 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
netname: IANA-BBLK-RESERVED1
descr: Class B address space for private internets
descr: See RFC1918.TXT for further information
P.S. They describe this as "Class B address space for private internets",
but it is not a single class B: it is 16 class B's.
