Referrals occur for example.com even though the server is supposed to be its soa

[Lyle Bertz]

Hello,
   
  I have an installation of 1.5.9.5 on a recent Gentoo distro.   The server is working fine but when I query for example.com I get "No Objects Found".
   
  I ran the indexer again on the soa records as well with the same result.
   
  On Startup I see...

  The log files show that a referral is being attempted
   
  from rwhois.info.log

  From the error file log I have
  
Sep 14 05:09:27 localhost.localdomain rwhoisd[564]: CONFIG: client tcp wrapper a
ddress: 10.77.116.52

rral class
Sep 14 05:09:27 localhost.localdomain rwhoisd[564]: REFERRAL: found a referral c
lass somewhere
   
  When these appear in the error log what error does this indicate?
   
  Thanks in advance.
