I'm aware that verizon does this as well which is the root source of the issue as marius pointed out but in my case as the hosts in question get their dns via dhcp from a router provided by the isp which for political reasons I won't go into I have no access to so as to change the resolvers it uses. thus the fix will be telling each host to ignore the resolvers it's given via dhcp and use others instead.... or just simply placing these boxen outside the dhcp range of the router and setting them up on static ip in a range not issued by the router but still within the routers private subnet.

(told them this breaks many things on my system including ping giving false replies)..in our case it always redirected us to a search engine in California, lol

Instead of rejecting the DNS request (af6hf doesn't resolve), it offers a fake reply, so a browser request will be redirected to some page (usually advertisements or some search engine). In your case: Name: unallocated.barefruit.co.uk Address: 92.242.140.21
This practice becomes more and more popular among providers.
