By the way, 221.219.118.212 is the correct IP address of the host.
202.106.199.36 is the server of our ICP used to display advertisement.
In our network 1/10 dns solving points to 202.106.199.36 so we Internet
browsers see one advertisement per 10 pages. I know about opendns, I
just curious how this behavior (telnet / ping behave differently) could
happen.

Sounds like a coincidence. I bet if you were to do

host svn.realss.com

a bunch of times, you would get the 202.106.199.36 a few times, just as you
say your network is configured to do. The fact that it happened just as you
switched to telnet must have been a coincidence. They both use the normal
glibc lookup functions to convert a host name to IP address
