Hi Andrew,
This is a VERY good example of why you should avoid OpenDNS or any other DNS
service that returns bogus data when queried for non-existing hosts. They
create
confusion and breaks the principle of least surprise. Run your own caching
resolver instead and prime it with knowledge of the root servers instead.
