With dns, there is additional assurance where deployed (dnssec, dkim and
adsp for email ..) - and moreover, if you have a unique set of roots, and
by definition a unique nameserver set for a domain xyz, you can't really
set up a fake domain on another nameserver host and expect people to
resolve xyz on that nameserver host .. e&oe deliberate redirection due to
dns proxying (great firewall etc) or trojans altering your resolver
(dnschanger and friends)
