These are your nameservers for IP 222.255.31.21
vdc-hn01.vnn.vn.        86400   IN      A       203.162.0.11
hcm-server1.vnn.vn.     86400   IN      A       203.162.4.1

  dig -x 222.255.31.21 resolves to 
;; ANSWER SECTION:
21.31.255.222.in-addr.arpa. 86400 IN    PTR     localhost.

This appears to be a DNS PTR record problem.
Also check 'hostname' on the server and see how it is setup
