MitM isn't even necessary, a rogue DHCP server configuring a malicious DNS could attack this.

  That is a form of MiTM. It’s just changing DNS to IP bindings rather than IP to MAC or prefix to ISP.

  That's still a MITM, albeit a LAN-local one. Non-LAN WAN isn't the total scope of MITMs.

    If my computer asks your computer what dns server to use, and you respond with the address of a nefarious one, it's not necessarily a mitm.

      The MitM happens when the client sends packets to the fake IP, I think the argument goes.
