Find a set of four consecutive six digit numbers which satisfies the following:

• The last four digits of the first (smallest) number form a palindrome.
• The last five digits of the second number form a palindrome.
• The second through fifth digits of the third number form a palindrome.
• The fourth (largest) number is a palindrome.
