Is that non-disclosure notice on your sig supposed to be a joke?

We have seen multiple instances where DHCP enabled workstations have had 
their DNS reconfigured to point to two of the three addresses listed 
below. Can anyone else confirm this? Incidents.org is reporting an 
increase in port 53 traffic over the last two days. Are we looking at 
the precursor to the next worm? 
216.127.92.38 
69.57.146.14 
69.57.147.175 


Are these entries coming in the DHCP packets or are they being 
set *after* DHCP is complete?  Are compromised systems acting 
like DHCP servers stuffing their own DNS entries into 
specially crafted replies? 
Can you post traffic dumps? 
Best Regards,
