DNS spamming?

[compilerbitch]

I have Bulldog 8MBit broadband at home. Every so often, usually late at night, the DNS servers respond by pointing every request (regardless of DNS name) to bargain-flights.gb.net. WTF?

I can't find anything online about this. Tellingly, the web site has no facility that allows email to be sent, nor does it give any actual real-world contact information (phone numbers/address/etc.). However, whois is my friend:

whois bargain-flights.gb.net

Has anyone else seen this? I am pretty furious at the moment, because I'm trying to sort stuff out for my talk in Birmingham tomorrow and all I can get is this piece of crap spam site. Grr².

I used to work for Bulldog and their DNS servers are always having problems and always have. Seriously, I've worked for other ISPs and I currently work for a large service provider and I've never seen anything like it! DNS servers are not difficult to run. I used to use other ISP's DNS servers on my Bulldog line.
