Different results returned from GTLD, actual name servers

[Michael E. Hanson]

According to InterNIC, you have two HOST records registered with Network
Solutions, one under the name www.cloakware.com and one under the name
ns2.cloakware.com, both with the IP address 207.61.93.166.

I'd contact Network Solutions again and ask them for assistance in removing
the "extra" HOST record.

   Server Name: WWW.CLOAKWARE.COM
   IP Address: 207.61.93.166
   Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, INC.
   Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
   Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
