It's not that simple. The only way so far to recognize their bogus answers
is by IP address. They control the GTLD servers and all GTLD servers now
show this behaviour. You can't easily do without, except by downloading the
.COM and .NET source yourself.

I'll add a feature to pdns to ignore answers containing a specified IP
address, which will effectively make this go away.

Thanks.
