Hi!
At least a BIND patch could be useful for ISP's running BIND or even be reused in DJBDNS and similar.
This page: http://www.imperialviolet.org/dnsfix.html has a patch for DjBDNS.
For now, it is returning the same IP address, but I have no trouble imagining Verisign evading DNS filters by changing the A records every now and then. Any solution to prevent Verisigns greed should keep this in mind.
You could try to do a second query for a wildcard record in the domain and then match the IP address in the first reply with the IP address given in the wildcard record reply. That result could be cached for future use. That way you don't have to hardcode the IP address in the code and it could work for other domains as well.
