[kwlug disc.] www.google.ca does not resolve

[Joe Wennechuk]

I have heard that ISP's are trying to redirect requests for non existent web pages to advertising sites. I  don't think that google's ip changes that often, cant you just put in a number into hosts or something for google, so it resolves locally instead of through DNS on the web?
