This looks like some cute host registration trickery on the part of terrorists.net. I'm amused, and sorry I didn't think of this myself.

Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information. MICROSOFT.COM.IS.SECRETLY.RUN.BY.ILLUMINATI.TERRORISTS.NET MICROSOFT.COM Enough said. Similar for apple.com. The web-based whois client at nsiregistry.com is giving correct results, as are the gtld-servers, as does -h networksolutions.com FreeBSD and at least one release of Linux I've tested query whois.internic.net by default. If anyone is using automated whois in production (very likely), check your results! J
