How could you differentiate the failure between ISP environment caused and function behaved wrongly? Successfully resolve an invalid ip address doesn't mean you can successfully resolve a bogus domain.

I think this case should be rare. Maybe we can just fail the test and warn the user this failure is not 100% caused by function's misbehaviour, just like test_bad_address.
