Hi

In my experience this is caused by the ISP using opendns.com to resolve
queries. opendns is notorious for responding to queries which should
return NXDOMAIN with answers which point to its own servers.

If you can't find a better server on your ISP's network, then change
your resolver to point to something like the open public servers
4.2.2.1 or 4.2.2.6 or (if you must) the google servers at 8.8.8.8.
