      As Derek _very_ politely pointed out, I am, in fact, retarded.

NSI can hardly be responsible if WISC.EDU wants to name a host WISC.EDU in 
the database.
I'll let you point out your own mistake on the list, if you so choose. :)

I think they've still got some bugs to work out:
[nrh@squig ~] whois -h whois.nsiregistry.net. wisc.edu
Whois Server Version 1.1
WISC.EDU
WISC.EDU
To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the
of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up
with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.

Redirecting Port 43 Whois
The following change is being made to comply with the recently
negotiated and signed agreements between the U.S. Department of
Commerce, ICANN, and NSI.
Effective December 1, 1999 Network Solutions will be redirecting
port 43 (rs.internic.net) Whois from the NSI Registrar Whois to
the NSI Registry Whois.   The NSI Registry Whois can currently be
found at whois.nsiregistry.net.  After this occurs, port 43 Whois
will show the following information: domain name, registrar, Whois
server, registrar referral URL and the names of the name servers
associated with the domain.  To obtain registrant and domain name
contact information, users will need to refer to the Whois service
provided by the registrar for the domain name.
Send questions or comments to whois@nsiregistry.net.
