Since when are machines names read with the most significant part on the
left? Hint: they aren't :)

yes i understand.

But i havn´t asked whois to resolve
"MICROSOFT.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM"

but "microsoft.com"

i think this is the most important (most right) part of the adress, or
not?

Precisely. Just because Microsoft.com showed up in that list doesn't mean
whois is working. It really shouldn't be returning entries in
SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM _by default_. It makes sense to have an option to
look for it, but not to default it - that just leaves it wide open to
abuse.
