Re: Avoid DNS redirection all together...

I think 4.2.2.* is technically Verizon's DNS (although IP lookup says it's Level3)

...anyway, they are wide-open, and several other ISPs don't seem to think twice about telling their customers to use them when their own DNS is messed up.

Yes, they belong to Level3, but they are run as a public service to the internet since they are so easy to remember. They are anycasted, so when you use an 4.2.2.x address, you will be routed to the nearest server.
