The InterNIC registration of the domain lists two servers: OPAL.NBNET.NB.CA
and VIRTUAL.VIRTUALWORLDINC.COM.  OPAL is responding non-authoritatively
for the domain, and it has serial number 1999102101; I can't tell why it's
out of date.  There is no host named VIRTUAL.VIRTUALWORLDINC.COM, according
to the registered servers for that domain:

% dig virtual.virtualworldinc.com a @dns1.auracom.net
