traceroute

I used domaintools.com to do a traceroute on a bunch of sites, and noticed that every single one leads to this "nameintelligence.com" site that I have never heard of.

Absolutely every site, including this one, google, my own site, yahoo, microsoft.com, stackoverflow, EVERYTHING, has nameintelligence.com in the first position.

What is that site, and what do they do? They're a PR 4 apparently, yet I have never heard of them.

I think this would be the right place to ask, I am sorry if I am wrong.

Here is the traceroute for google: http://dns-tools.domaintools.com/ip-tools/?method=traceroute&query=74.125.53.99
