This happens in Italy too. We have DNS censorship for gambling sites
(except for the government run ones) and it could be applied to any
sites upon specific requests (it happened once with TPB).
Technically, yes, they're running Tor nodes which tamper with your
results, but in this case, I think that a mail to the Tor node admin
would suffice: just ask politely to run a cache against the root servers
and it will be ok (once upon a time I would have said ORSN servers :') )
