Looks good. And beyond that, anything that doesn't start with www behaves properly too:
$ ping www.srevaewedoc.com PING www.srevaewedoc.com (67.63.50.48) 56(84) bytes of data. $ ping mail.srevaewedoc.com ping: unknown host mail.srevaewedoc.com $ ping blah.srevaewedoc.com ping: unknown host blah.srevaewedoc.com
Fwiw, I don't think "use another DNS" is a good fix. I don't care about the winhttp test myself, but if other users have similar issues it will spam test.winehq.org with failures.
Well the "use another DNS" was for you and not a generic workaround for the winetest. That's what I would do if the provider would mess with the DNS.
Have you complained to your ISP? The ones in this area have a webpage that allows you to disable it.
