Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the
of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up
with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.

It's perfectly NORMAL. Just the owners of SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM,
BEYONDWHOIS.COM, SHQIPHOST.COM, NASHHOST.NET and UNIMUNDI.COM playing
games.
It would just be nice if "single out" actually worked.

It's an old trick, been around forever. You just register some random A record with a registrar.
Same thing happens for google.com, microsoft.com, probably every big company.
