I ran into this long ago. The router is shipped with an aparantly
ancient and unmaintained caching name server called dproxy
It seems that AAAA queries confused it or something similar. And it
returned the address 1.0.0.1 . Or maybe something different: when
queried to resolve an address that is CNAME it answred with 1.0.0.1 .
When I ran:
host -t CNAME that.specific.address
it suddenly got the correct resolution into its cache. The modem in
question was some Alcatel modem. You can login to it with ssh iwth user
root and with the password that is set for the Admin user in the web
interface.
The system on it is:
# cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le (khcheng@atmos2) (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release/MontaVista)) #12 Tue Aug 31 18:43:49 SGT 2004

If you can, just set up any other system to be the DNS server.
