I, being a bit larger than the average customer of Register.com, 
normally see the same thing if I setup a script to pull current whois 
data for all the domains I have registered (most on behalf of others). 
However I just confirmed that I get the same response from multiple 
locations, so it does look like whois.register.com is having some issues.
