hardly.
the issue with mydomain.com is that certain *nix's have it listed in /etc/resolv.conf (or the specific equivalent) as an example although it's commented out. your joe-intelligent administrator apparently decided to uncomment it.
I actually think this is rather funny myself, too.
Never underestimate human stupidity. At a software company where I recently worked, people couldn't understand why I suggested so strongly that they remove things like "company.com" and "hostname.com" from their sample configuration files, and replace them with clearly bogus domain names like "example.domain".
Why is mydomain.com still resolving domains for random hosts? If it stops, the problem will quickly get corrected.
