No he is not. Your argument is valid... but not for what he is (or should
be) actually doing.
mullan.dns2go.com is a host, not a domain, so the only machine that will
be affected by the split dns is mullan.dns2go.com, and then only to the
machines inside his lan, because he won't be handing out dns responses
outside his lan.

The warning to be careful is well taken... because you do NOT want to
start managing a domain you don't own in the public internet. However,
you can lie to your internal machines to your hearts content. :)
