    Just recently in NYC, the hotel "internet" connection did intercept
    any UDP traffic to *:53, redirecting it to their resolver. Which did
    not only serve their own A records for names that should have returned
    NXDOMAIN, but also returned "better" answers than you normally would
    get (requesting pages from www.weather.com delivered pages from www.accuweather.com
    ). Of course it even did that after I had paid and clicked through
    their walled garden site.
