Don't know if this has been checked yet, and not sure if this was covered,
as you don't provide specifics as to domain name, but I'd check and see
if there is a stale host record for the IP/host in question.
Basically, query the NSI whois server for the hostname in question; if there
is a host record in place, you'll see something like the following ...
# whois auth00.ns.uu.net
Query: auth00.ns.uu.net
Registry: whois.networksolutions.com
Results:
