Recentemente, decidi executar uma consulta WHOIS no Microsoft.com usando o cliente whois do Linux. Fui recebido por uma enxurrada de domínios obviamente não-Microsoft.com que começam com a string "Microsoft.com" (muitos dos quais são bastante explícitos), seguida pelos resultados do WHOIS para o domínio real do Microsoft.com.
Aqui está uma amostra (editada) da resposta dada (se você não está com medo de alguns palavrões, vá em frente e 'whois' você mesmo;):

Obviamente, todos esses domínios, exceto o último, não são de fato propriedade da Microsoft. Então, minha pergunta é: como exatamente isso acontece e por que recebo respostas para uma infinidade de servidores whois? A semelhança entre as respostas me mostra que a busca foi feita em algum lugar para algo como o Microsoft.com. *, Mas de onde vem toda essa informação extra?
