Netsol is simply broken.  Good luck getting it updated.  It is a
WHOIS-only issue, so it really doesn't affect anything.  All of the glue
is correct.  Their system is simply broken from the NSI == VGRS days, and
stores IPs even for hosts they don't control.  In most cases you can
simply ignore it.  If you must have it updated, I'd suggest calling, and
just keep calling over and over until you find someone who can actually
push out an update properly.
