Yep, once you point us in that direction.

198.41.0.4 can as far as I can see not be a broadcast address
under any left-contiguous netmask, unless it's the 0'th address
on some subnet and the router sitting on the net has the really-
old-style-and-now-deprecated directed broadcast address
forwarding enabled (not likely).
A DNS query to 198.41.0.4 does however only elicit a single
response, so I doubt this is much to worry about. (My guess:
they have 4 machines sharing the load via some form of load-
sharing setup.)
