Indeed, registrar Network Solutions is claiming the same thing even though
the associated DNS servers for the domain are correct.  After six (no
exagerration) calls to their "support" line, they claim that the problem
will "sort itself out" in 45-90 days -- its been 4 months.  I've yet to
receive a satisfactory/knowledgeable reply from them.  Verisign verified the
DNS glue connection, but says Network Solutions must solve it.

We also control two other high-level domains, neither of which reference
www.cloakware.com/207.61.93.166 as a DNS server.  

Is there any way to find out which domains are referencing the domain/IP as
a DNS server?  What would be the best way to proceed?

Thanks again for your excellent help.
