 Actually, I am not sure that would even improve things. If the user is
 under attack, you'd have a downgrade attack again, so it could make things
 worse. And you're trusting ISPDB anyway.
 It would be better to make a third party verification by another server in
 another country, which on mismatch alerts some admin that something's
 fishy, not the end users, who can't do anything about it anyway.
