Mike, thats what i thought.
I know there is no connection to dotster, was just checking if an outside company runs your whois servers thats all.
I've seen the domain name in this case.
I can with all certainty rule out any directnic involvement in this registration.
However all signs do point to Dotster or its parent or sister company being a whois sniffer, grabing names, and also parking them through their inhouse (Google AFD) parking program.
while writing this post i did some searching in google and found this. Sounds idential to what happened here, other than the directnic part.

3/28/06 just had this happen to me. A little more than a week ago I searched for a domain for a customer I'm doing a site for. The domain name is (owners last name)studio.com and the owners name is very unusual (not Smith or Jones) So I waited a week or so before registering it just to make sure the customer was all go. Well over the weekend I go to register it and sure shit, it was purchased just the day before. so yeah... this scam sucks.
Info on who sniped my domain:
emails: domains@revenuedirect.com, domainsale@gmail.com
they registered the domain through: Dotster.
