How does ISP use a proxy to filters answers and returns whatever they want to 
the customer?

I'm happy you read it, and hope to see you at the forum/customer webinar next 
week!  I'll be speaking, and will bring my fireproof undies.

Yes.

Yes.

We came to the conclusion that no matter how much we wanted it to not be true, 
people find a way to do NXDOMAIN if they want to.  The issue is not ours to 
push, it's between the ISP and the customer ultimately, and people will do it 
-- and more intrusively -- than BIND 9.9 will.

That's perhaps the case, but once again, it's up to the ISP ultimately.  Don't 
think that just because BIND 9 didn't do this before, that people didn't.  They 
instead use a proxy which filters answers, for instance, and returns whatever 
they want to the customer.
