I know some, but I usually don't see their advertising-overloaded portals  
on my computers even if I mistype some URL. I should complain to  
Alice/Hansenet though... they're doing that. The main point being that  
their redirection breaks NXDOMAIN replies.

I don't use port redirections though and have static network interfaces on  
my computers (Linux and FreeBSD). BIND9 gets 127.0.0.1:53, DNSMASQ all  
other interfaces port 53. No iptables games necessary.
