polinterpolate on reciprocals 

I noticed this effect today:

? polinterpolate([6,15,28,45,66,91])
2*x^2 + 3*x + 1
? polinterpolate([1/6,1/15,1/28,1/45,1/66,1/91])
-17/61776*x^5 + 6289/1081080*x^4 - 21139/432432*x^3 + 15997/77220*x^2 -
27509/60060*x + 1384/3003

In the second example I would have expected 1/(2*x^2 + 3*x + 1) rather
than the value given.

Am I doing something wrong here?

Regards,

Kevin.
