EWWWW this is going to get messy.

You *do* need to have a long talk with your registrar(s).

There is a quite simple explanation for this.  For some reason the
internic whois database still has the old ip addresses for the
nameservers.

From the looks of things nsol is correctly picking up the nameserver ip
addresses from domaindiscover.com (the registrar for purplecat.net) when
it creates the CNO files.

I would probably start by trying a nameserver change to network solutions
on one of these and see if it fixes the problem.   Otherwise call network
solutions and/or domaindiscover.com and get them to work through the
issue.  Tell them that there is an inconsitency in a nameserver host
record between network solutions and domaindiscover (and the rest of the
world).

I think the final ball is going to be in nsol's court, but don't quote me
on that....
