isinterneton.com implemented something like this circa 2011 but it looks dead now.

You can still see how it worked: http://whois.domaintools.com/isinterneton.com

It defined a few nameservers,

  IS-INTERNET-ON.TITLE.ISINTERNETON.COM 
  YES.BODY.ISINTERNETON.COM
The server reads these values and constructs a page like,

  <title>Is Internet On</title>
  <body>Yes</body>
