The "Network Solutions" piece of the puzzle is relevant here... I didn't see it mentioned in the original posting. Network Solutions WHOIS is infamous for being out of sync for nameserver IP addresses. This problem goes back to the days when they ran both the registry and registrar as one unit. They have bothered fixing the problem. Still, the most important point is that WHOIS information is not used in any way for DNS resolution.
