It's really just a quirk that I would rather not deal with. If I run dig on a hostname, that means I want to know about whatever records are associated with that hostname. If I try to get a program to connect to an invalid hostname I want it to say that's the problem instead of waiting a minute or two for the connection attempt to time out. It's also kind of backwards. If I want that kind of functionality, shouldn't that be in the browser?
Hmm.. minor correction.. It seems that, with OpenDNS, test.invalid returns NXDOMAIN, test.invali gives me 67.215.65.132. Oh well. When I made that other post I assumed they would be the same.
