Why don't we plan this feature in two stages:

friendly
    explanation and suggestions for further action.

DNS lookups don't have users like web browsers

and there is *no* safe and clean way to solve that

since it's the DNS server it *could* return in such case a dedicated IP to a site which accepts every host header and explains what have happened - BUT that won't work with HTTPS sites, they wuld end just in another warning AND NO don't come with the idea install a Fedora certificate like Dell did it short ago

the problem here is that the browser would send it's cookies from previous visits there so it's not possible for security/privacy reasons and since DNS don't cover ports there can also not be a tiny process on the local machine with a embedded webserver easily, the user could have run it's own webserver which must not be replaced
