He's confused.  I can explain in detail if you want, but it's clear that 
what happened is that www.infonec.ca is set up as an alias for 
www.infonec.com, and they forgot to renew the .com so NSI pointed it at 
their expired domain servers until he paid.  All the registrars I know 
would do the same thing.

The "suspicious" stuff re authority sections is perfectly normal since the 
DNS server for infonec.ca is also the server for infonec.com.

R's,
John

PS: The previous claim of NSI hijacking wildcard domains was wrong, too. 
The only evil I've seen them do recently is AGP frontrunning of domains 
that people ask about but don't buy.
