Not exactly the same, but I remember reading (likely on HN) about some ISPs serving adsense-filled pages in case the DNS lookup couldn't resolve the address.

Rogers in Canada used to do this. I'm not sure if they still do, though, because that incident alone caused me to switch over to another DNS server.

I actually recoded the SaturdaysNYC frontend with Ginlane, around the same time I did this. Great team at that agency. http://www.saturdaysnyc.com/
