Well, it's odd, but the manager of that domain can set whatever IPs he wants to do for these things. It's definitely not parked. Here's the output of a zone transfer below which shows that the owner set peertech.org and www.peertech.org to resolve to localhost, while he setup MX records, and domains for vpn and home.
