Some captive portals do TCP redirection, but no DNS redirection.
And for good reason. Once user has finished jumping through whatever hoops captive portal want them to jump, a new connection to the same server is likely to be attempted, and having a fake DNS response cached somewhere in libresolv or browser in the client is not the least bit conductive to that.
