There are at least two more:

$ host www.nic.ch
www.nic.ch is an alias for nic.switch.ch.
nic.switch.ch has address 130.59.31.247
nic.switch.ch has IPv6 address 2001:620:0:ff::5
$ host www.nic.li
www.nic.li is an alias for nic.switch.ch.
nic.switch.ch has address 130.59.31.247
nic.switch.ch has IPv6 address 2001:620:0:ff::5
