Of course redirection is on by default(can be opt-out) at other DNS providers like Opendns( »www.opendns.com/features/overview/ ). So it depends on what DNS servers you point to.

Using DNS servers other than the borked ones avoids the problem of falsified results. But it shouldn't be necessary; accurate DNS, according to internet standards, should be a service the ISP provides.
Reportedly at least one ISP started blocking requests to DNS servers other than their own, but fortunately this does not seem to be common or a trend.
Some entities that run DNS servers do not welcome requests from users outside their own organizations, but generally don't prevent it. But choose carefully. I wouldn't mind placing more load on Microsoft's DNS for example, but I might not have as much confidence in the results as with some others. A local university may be a good choice. Better yet, run your own. |

Meh, I use OpenDNS as I noticed Verizon's DNS lags. Plus I like the control OpenDNS gives me. |
