This looks like some cute host registration trickery on the part of terrorists.net. I'm amused, and sorry I didn't think of this myself.

Always. Even the results given by whois.internet.net (ne whois.crsnic.net) are completely distinct, and unambiguous, provided you supply the _nearly critical_ options ("dump" and a "=" prefix, see sample below). Those two microsoft.com's are both registered by NSI. The first is a nameserver, the second a domain. $ whois -V microsoft.com Connecting to whois.crsnic.net.
