Basically all nonexistant domain queries could return an IP address and if the user was trying to access a page with a webbrowser they could get redirected to a search-engine, or worse: a page asking them to buy a domain. This is most certainly breaking the DNS standard and could be compared to cybersquatting (Hey Ford, want to have a banner ad whenever someone mistypes Toyota?). This is interesting in relation to <a href="http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/10/0142259&tid=123">an earlier story</a> about register.com and holding-pages."
