I don't understand your mail.

curl resolves the name you pass on to it. It then uses one of the returned IP
addresses and connects to it (and if that fails, it tries the next IP if
there's any). It then asks the server for the given document path.

The server then responds.

If curl resolves a bad subdomain, it is because the domain has been setup to
allow that in their DNS config. It isn't something curl decides on its own.

The page it gets from the server is exactly what the server wants curl to get
when it attempts to get that page.

I must lack sleep or coffee or something, but I don't understand what the
problem is.
