Please forgive me for my naivety, but since when did a host name have a WHOIS record?
I just went to Verisign's WHOIS website (http://registrar.verisign-grs.com/whois/), and I see they have an option to query for NS records. Interesting, never saw that before in a WHOIS site lookup.

Some registrars require nameservers to have WHOIS records if you want to use them for registering domains. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; http://www.fantomas.sk/ Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
