Same result here in Brazil. An HTTP status code implies the domain name was properly resolved to the IP of the HTTP server. The page must have been removed by the host.

This is not true. Your ISP can in theory route the requested address to whatever they want. In the Netherlands TPB is blocked and my ISP returns a 200 status code which shows their blocking landing page. Other ISPs give a 30x redirect to their domain.

Basically the ISP can do a man in the middle attack.
