two caveat's here:
1. a common policy to avoid load problems on
nameservers is to limit relies to non-customer IP's to only
those domains for which one is authoritative for
2. an ISP can use provide an interception of DNS
answers fairly trivially for making sure a customer passes
through a web view of a terms and conditions page (consider
the usual intercepts one encounters at hotels, which may be
done that way, along with other methods)
There is a crpytographically secure answer mechanism
to prevent such false results from going undetected, but it is
not yet in wide distribution.
