You are being too specific in your whois query. Try it against ionet.net, whois is a database listing domains, you are asking it to tell you about a host within a domain. Even if the query in question was a sub-domain, the whois database only knows where to start. A great book is DNS and BIND, currently 4th edition, from O'Reilly. Check their web site for a 30 day free trial of safari.oreilly.com their online book library (540+ titles). I read the 3rd edition in print and that shed a lot of light on the whole DNS thing.
