The WHOIS entries are irrelevant, since he's doing his nslookups on a
client of the authoritative server for the domain.  Don't you remember that
in his original message he showed that "nslookup manatee.mammalia.org"
worked?  If he were using a caching server it would have the same problem
with the entire domain.

I've already posted several messages explaining the real reason, you're
just confusing the issue.
