That is correct.
Resolving any non-existant .com or .net domain, will results in the IP
address of a Verisign server being returned.
A Verisign "site search" page is shown. It's nothing short of a scam to
get people to buy domains from them, and it stinks.
There are several mail related problems which are being discussed here,
which are result from this extreme stupidity.
