That doesn't make any sense - according to your logic, the tests should
also succeed if the computer has bad ram, or perl has a bug that randomly
corrupts memory.
While it is not the job of tests to signal problems outside of it, it's
also not the job of the tests to work around broken configurations and
pretend everything is fine when it isn't.

How would you dteect the breakage? All your proposed is hardcoding OpenDNS
servers somehow. That doesn't detect any breakage.
