Not that I think it's a good idea, but see new.net, e.g.

There's a button which people - like your father - can click and do 
damage to their own DNS configuration. :-)

Internet users may have no idea what the DNS is, but their 
configurations are being hacked already, perhaps without their 
knowledge, to consult these alternate roots.

It happens when you use DHCP with an ISP that uses one of these 
alternate trees - unless you run your own server, any request that you 
delegate can get shunted.

It also happens when you run software for configuration, ala 
'install-me' CDs from Juno, or clicking as above.
