OK, let's use one of your servers (you relay your mail through this one, 
right?):

   [simon@vaio simon]$ date
   Tue Apr 11 06:23:59 GMT 2000
   [simon@vaio simon]$ nslookup 208.1.127.5 joy.songbird.com
   Server:  joy.songbird.com
   Address:  208.184.79.7

   Name:    berk.serv.nic.info
   Address:  208.1.127.5

Now let's use one of the ISI servers:

   [simon@vaio simon]$ nslookup 208.1.127.5 ns.isi.edu
   Server:  darkstar.isi.edu
   Address:  128.9.128.127

   Name:    berk.serv.nic.info
   Address:  208.1.127.5

Now let's try a couple of reliable MIL servers:

   [simon@vaio simon] nslookup 208.1.127.5 ns1.arl.mil
   Server:  ns1.arl.mil
   Address:  128.63.16.4

   Name:    berk.serv.nic.info
   Address:  208.1.127.5

   [simon@vaio simon] nslookup 208.1.127.5 dcmdw.dla.mil
   Server:  dcmdw.dla.mil
   Address:  131.68.3.1

   Name:    berk.serv.nic.info
   Address:  208.1.127.5

>Somehow that is supposed to prove something about CORE?

Yes, absolutely, and very conclusively.
