> TWCBC, at least in my segment, provides that good-old RFC-breaking domain search landing page instead of NXDOMAIN.


Dnsmasq has an option that you can use to map the RFC-breaking responses to proper NXDOMAIN responses.

no-resolv
server=208.67.222.222 # resolver1.opendns.com
server=208.67.220.220 # resolver2.opendns.com
bogus-nxdomain=208.69.34.132
bogus-nxdomain=208.69.32.132
bogus-nxdomain=67.215.65.132


> Example:
>
> $ host poop
> poop has address 66.152.109.110
> poop has address 69.16.143.110
> Host poop not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)


$ host poop
Host poop not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
