No. However they are NOT modifying DNS responses. The responses are
perfectly valid results of having a wildcard in the zone.

The thing is, they have decided to make ALL second level domains in the com
and net zones exist, regardless of wether they are registred or not. This is
a policy breakage that I'm not pleased with at all.

It is, however, very important to realise the difference between breaking
policy and breaking technology.
