Comcast, how do I prevent your DNS servers from adding hosts that are on my private LAN?

What are you seeing that leads you to believe Comcast is adding hosts from your LAN to its DNS?

xxx.xxx.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer MoviRu.hsd1.or.comcast.net.

Using host command, in case it's not clear, actual private address redacted from this post.

Could you post the "host" command line you are using, and the OS name and version?

It isn't necessary to redact private IP addresses like 192.168.x.y as they cannot be reached from the Internet. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

More than likely, your router is adding these DNS entries to itself
