I was doing some research on domains and WHOIS information today when I stumbled upon a peculiar results for Amazon.Com. Take a look at the server name in the image below.
This is clearly not the name of Amazon's server, but I have no idea how this comes about. This site found the same thing and mentions that "The response back was any domain with Amazon.com in the name." Not the most precise of answers but what an odd thing to stumble upon.

I don’t really know much about WHOIS or domains, but not too long ago when YouTube was down for a few hours, I remember reading a post by someone that had used WHOIS to find info on youtube.com and I’m fairly certain that they reported something identical to what you found
(ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM)

I just ran a whois on Amazon.com and the results are unchanged.
Still unchanged :)
Pretty funny
