You're going to kick yourself on this one!

A domain can be registered without setting up any DNS entries.  If you do a
whois query, you get 


   Domain Name: DNZ.COM
   Registrar: CAPITAL NETWORKS PTY LTD
   Whois Server: whois.totalnic.net
   Referral URL: http://icann.totalnic.net
   Name Server: No nameserver
   Updated Date: 12-jan-2002
...

Found InterNIC referral to whois.totalnic.net.
