Its all luck of the draw. whois.internic.net seems to have at least 2
different backend databases running. One reports internic.net was last
updated 14-Jul-98 and the other 15-Jul-98. I seem to remember them
moving things around the other day, maybe they just haven't gotten it all
sorted yet, imagine that.
