Dear Sprint EVDO people,
Your man-in-the-middle hijacking of UDP/53 DNS queries against nameservers that I choose to query from my laptop on Sprint EVDO is not appreciated. Even less appreciated is your complete blocking of TCP/53 DNS queries.
If I were an ISP, and I knew that approximately 99.9% of customer queries to random name servers was malware doing fake site phishing or misconfigured PCs that will work OK and avoid a support call if they answer the DNS query, with 0.1% being old weenies like us, I'd do what Sprint's doing, too. If you're aware of a mechanical way for them to tell the difference, we're all ears.
