Yes, it appears you're right -- browsing to 
http://default.neveranydomainlikethis/ redirects me to 
http://ww23.rr.com/index.php?origURL=http://def.../ .  That appears 
deliberate, and if I complained to my ISP I'm sure they'd tell me it's a 
feature not a bug :/

By the way, this nameserver does give proper not found replies for things like 
nonexistent.perl.org.
