This is the prime feature of OpenDNS, and why I don't like using machines that use OpenDNS. I want "ntpq -c pe typo.ntp.server.net" to fail instantly with a name resolution failure, rather than take ages sending useless NTP packets to OpenDNS's NXDOMAIN-substitute web servers. Those poor servers must be getting hit with doomed attempts to communicate using protocols other than HTTP at a stunning rate.
