Nothing at the real provider's home base, INSTANET.COM, reveals anything
of interest.  Some kook thinking he can auction off typo domains?

Heey! I feel special!

Think you are special? Wonder how The B&N (can't even spell it now after 
looking at the variants they registered) book sellers must feel.

Try:

        WHOIS SERVER NS42656-HST

To see some of what these folks have registered.

Sadly that will only return 256 entries. The Internic claims to have not 
given out the entire DNS database since March. Anyone know otherwise, or 
how to quickly get WHOIS to return more than 256 entries on a 
WHOIS SERVER request?
