0.0.0.0 is a broadcast address. Broadcasts does not fit well with Suqids
requirement that the DNS reply comes from a DNS server (and query) it
has explicitly asked.

Use 127.0.0.1 if you want to ask the localhost, or the specific IP
address of another (or this) machine.

I am surprised that nslookup accepts the use of broadcast addresses.
