You don't think
"(i) a service provider, as that term is defined in section 512(k)(1) of =
title 17, United States Code, or other operator of a domain name system =
server shall take reasonable steps that will prevent a domain name from =
resolving to that domain name=92s Internet protocol address;"
could be taken as a requirement for providers to intercept attempts to =
use off-network DNS resolvers and manage such requests to meet the end =
goal above?
Given that many providers already do this (for whatever reason), it's =
not much of a stretch to see someone declaring that such behaviour falls =
under the umbrella of "reasonable steps".

but it does seem to imply an operational burden on service providers.
