Neither is true. My guess is your request is routed via a proxy server
that supplies this friendly response page. If your request weren't
rerouted, you'd see something like this:

milu_at_lobster:~ > curl -v www.aslkjdfls.de
* getaddrinfo(3) failed for www.aslkjdfls.de:80
* Couldn't resolve host 'www.aslkjdfls.de'
* Closing connection #0
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'www.aslkjdfls.de'

Or like this:

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\MiLu>curl -v www.alskjdfl.de
* Could not resolve host: www.alskjdfl.de; Host not found
* Closing connection #0
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.alskjdfl.de; Host not found
