and there are a lot more of tryouts, but the offender IP its not logged.

If this is coming from an external IP then close port 3306 to start with. This port should never be open to the public IMHO. You might have occasion to open it to certain IPs, but that's it.

As to the IP in question - I don't really know how MySQL works -- has it converted the IP to a hostname? Can't that be faked (i.e. you just create an rDNS record to match whatever you want)? So I'm quite confused about this.

This! I cannot stress the importance of closing remote MySQL access in your firewall enough.
