Yep, I'm seeing what should be NXDOMAIN results returning the IP 198.105.254.11 which brings me to a page like http://searchguide.level3.com/search/?q=http://198.105.254.1...

Does anyone know if actual Level3 customers see this page, or is it only for off-network requests? Up until the end of last year, my employer had a Level3 internet connection and we legitimately used 4.2.2.1 as our DNS recursive resolver. I'd be pretty pissed if they returned spammy results to their customers, but to non-customers, well, I don't care: That's what you get. Use a DNS server that somebody says you're allowed to (8.8.8.8, maybe)



Querying from one of my personal servers on a Level3 DIA circuit, I am getting NXDOMAINs for non-existent hostnames.
