Sadly, this has/will become the rule

How many times has one mistyped a web page only to be redirected to a spam/spyware/malware site hosted by some IP block in Russia?

I can think of other ways to solve this problem (like redirecting users to a 404 not found); however at $40-50/month these folks see a potential for more money via advertising. Embarq, like the others see the Internet as a one-way advertsing stream instead of the 2-way commuications medium it is continuing to evolve into.

Run your own caching DNS server. Nor hard at all to set up; some routers may already have them. It is perfectly legal so long as you do not advestise it out for others to use.
