ns{1,2}.alldomains.com. have valid A records in the root (a.gtld-servers.net.).
it appears that whois.alldomains.com. is a cname to reg.alldomains.com.
i notice that their SOA serial is 20011012.
on the other hand, whois alldomains.com@whois.networksolutions.com
(or for bsd'ers, whois -h whois.networksolutions.com. alldomains.com) returns
apparently valid information.

it's almost as if the "NS" records for alldomains.com. is missing from the
root/gtls servers (although the "A" records for ns{1,2} are in there)?
