DNS server

propagation is a bogus idea when applied to DNS.  Like WMD and "immediate 
threat" when applied to Iraq.

As soon as the delegation and glue data for domain.tld is present in the 
.tld servers, that data is instantaneously available across all of Internet.

dig @NS_auth_for_tld domain.tld  any

Forget about whois data, it is operationally irrelevant for DNS 
operation.  whois protocol with whois servers, dns protocol with dns 
servers, ne'ver the twain meet.
