OpenDNS should not resolve the reserved "invalid" domain names defined in RFC 2606:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt
This RFC says that the following domains should not exist:
example.com example.net example.org .test .example .invalid .localhost
However, OpenDNS does resolve these, instead of returning an NXDOMAIN like it should, according to the
$ dig example.com +short @208.67.222.222 208.67.217.130
This breaks software, such as test scripts, that assume DNS resolution conforms to this RFC.

example.com example.net example.org do exist on a server owned by ICANN. localhost always points to the loopback address.
