".to" is the TLD registered to Tonga. They are doing a nice line in registering domain names thankyou. Internic/NSI's whois server is not authorative for them. You thus get the same result querying whois.internic.lnet as if you (say) query something in the UK domain. That is it returns the record if and only if a host entry has been registered. It happens that this domain has a host record different from the DNS record, along with about ten trillion other incorrect host records in the Internic database. This is easilly achieved by modifying your zonefile after the host entry has been registered. If I remember correctly there is a well known bug that no host entries are fully checked anyway, but this is by the by. So I don't quite know how this is an exploit.
