No, that particular DN server is just braindead:

$ hostx asdhasldhalhksdalskd.bazaar-ng.org 80.10.246.1
asdhasldhalhksdalskd.bazaar-ng.org	A	62.210.183.78
asdhasldhalhksdalskd.bazaar-ng.org	TXT	"NXDOMAIN"

Oh, I found a way to fool it:

$ hostx as.as.as.as.as 80.10.246.1
as.as.as.as.as does not exist at dns-adsl-gpe1-a.wanadoo.fr, try again

Of course, it is easier to just switch to a different DNS.
