Re: Bug or feature? I also don't use Windstream DNS yet I've been redirected. I've found that putting a 127.0.0.1 entry for searchdirect.windstream.net will prevent you from landing on their redirect. Of course your traffic is still subjected to their packet inspection but that's a much bigger issue.
DPI = fail, and there's no positive PR spin they can put on that. Gimp your DNS servers if you want to but keep your hands off my traffic.
BTW, the redirection appears to be done to HTTP traffic because straight DNS queries of NX domains still fail as they should.
