Please note that WHOIS information is stored in a database that has
nothing to do with DNS.  And DNS information is stored in name servers
that have nothing to do with WHOIS.  The fact that they store some
overlapping information, and that some of the same companies register
information and feed information into the NIC, is no guarantee that the
two will be either consistent or correct.  That they are most of the
time is praiseworthy, but unfortunately misleading in this regard.
