The problem is that OpenDNS returns a result when you query for a nonexistant
host name with their own web server ip address so that mistyped URLs get
directed to their ad supported search page instead of getting a 404 not found.
You can easily tell if your DNS server is doing that by using the 'dig' command
from shell for a host name you are sure doesn't exist. For example, if I type
the command

 dig not.a.real.host.apple.com

with my default non-OpenDNS name server, what comes back says "ANSWER: 0" and
has no "ANSWER SECTION" in it. If I instead query one of OpenDNS's servers like 
this

 dig @208.67.222.222 not.a.real.host.apple.com

what comes back includes the following lines that are different:

; (1 server found)
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; ANSWER SECTION:
not.a.real.host.apple.com. 1  IN A  208.67.219.40

(I cut out a lot of other stuff from the output)
