kudos:2 | The article is confused... said by dslreports article :
As we've been discussing, a vast majority of ISPs these days have hijacked DNS functionality by replacing traditional 404 page not found error pages with their own customized search portals. This turns mistyped URLs into a revenue stream by directing their attention toward ad partners.
Um, those are two completely separate concepts.
If you are unable to resolve a domain name, DNS doesn't return a "404" error. It simply returns a response that the domain name doesn't exist.
404 errors are returned by a web server when a specific page doesn't exist.
If you type a domain that doesn't exist, there is no web server to return a 404!
