Practical steps I could conceive of may be: - stop using Starhub's DNS servers (or their services altogether, if so inclined). But the tricky part is to find alternate DNS servers that still give you local results for DNS-based CDNs. - I assume that their search partner is paying them per hit so if we generate lots of false positive traffic looking up nonsense domains, the search partner may drop the partnership, or perhaps starhub will decide the payback is not worthwhile if a user decides to consume 100Mbps of expensive international bandwidth constantly querying for nonsense domains (which, by the way, would not consume bandwidth if they returned NXDOMAIN like they are supposed to)
