A customer just informed us of this lovely NetSol behavior. I've removed the
standard disclaimer for readability:

This behavior seems to exist on NetSol's site as well.... it seems to be
different for every domain that I try. Random handles, garbled data, and the
lovely "Sorry, you shouldn't see this record." for yahoo.com.
