Thank you both. I've been doing some further "dig"ing and it seems that
the nameservers that are supposed to be being used, aren't always -
instead different nameservers (ns1.nns365.com, ns2.nns365.com) are being
used. Their whois seems to be correct (ns1.csiplhosting.net,
ns2.csiplhosting.net), so I'm still rather puzzled as to why this is...
