There is a hack that can be done with DNS servers to return an address if they can't find one. Many ISP's will use this to promote their own web services. If I remember, even NetworkSolutions, who run the base level DNS servers, were talking about using this to promote their sitefinder service, however, since too any people could use a positive return to generate spam, I think the program was shelved.

You might want to check the page out, see where it's coming from (right click, properties), then call your ISP to see if they do this DNS hack. Although, if you're not getting it with not founds, then maybe their not.
