This is somewhat of a problem, but is rare so hasn't been addressed yet
(there are many other fish to fry...).
When we query whois.crsnic.net to find the current Registrar for the domain
to extract whois information, sometimes there's a host entry with the same
name as the domain, SO the output is similar to:
[chuck@opus chuck]$ whois -h whois.crsnic.net netris.com
NETRIS.COM
NETRIS.COM
...
Our system doesn't extract the information it's looking for and khaks...
This then gets handled manually.
We'll implement a fix sometime in the very near future :)
