When I am at home, I often use my company DNS servers with my vpn
connection. Today, when I accidentally had no vpn connection, I found
that the dns servers that my ISP gave me always return some IP address
for any non-existent dns name.
The DNS servers I got are : 209.55.5.10 (ns1.broadbandsupport.net) and
209.55.5.11 (ns2.broadbandsupport.net). See my test:
> set type=a
> server 209.55.5.10
Default server: 209.55.5.10
Address: 209.55.5.10#53
> bad1.bad2.com
Server: 209.55.5.10
Address: 209.55.5.10#53
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: bad1.bad2.com
Address: 72.4.162.130
Name: bad1.bad2.com
Address: 207.189.119.29
> abc.conm.com
Server: 209.55.5.10

Is this just some wrong configuration or is it a result of some hacking ?
