> hijacks requests to valid top level domains

I believe the purpose of this feature is not about detecting hijack requests to valid top level domains. In other words, a well written NXDOMAIN interceptor would not cause a harm to their intended audience, so they didn't bother trying to detect it.

It's about detecting that a "eng-wiki A aa.bb.cc.dd" record it just received from the user's DNS server is actually intended to be eng-wiki served from corp network instead of a stupid ISP page.
