I don't have a working example. However my doubt is what if my ISP is
infected with DNS changer even when my GNU/LINUX is not.
The advantage with this test is that though you PC may not be infected we
can help our ISP solve the problem which they have not noticed yet. I
heard that there are still around 50K PC around the world infected with
this malware.
Most times their tech support is clueless about basic networking
issues. When I tell them that I cannot ping their GW IP on the far
side of my DSL connection (the end point of the first hop), the chaps
insist that I ping some other IP number which is beyond their own
gateway!
Expecting them to understand DNS poisoning - you are a brave man.
Personally, I use my own DNS server (bind) built into the gateway.
