Could someone who has dns set up correctly confirm that this test works?

Question

The test that's here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106798 says if you attempt to visit this link:
http://17.254.0.91
and you are taken to Apple's page then you probably don't have your DNS set up correctly.
Can anyone confirm, who has their DNS set up correctly, that attempting to visit that link does not work for them please?
TIA

Answer 1

Right, thanks for that info. I don't understand what all the code stuff is at all, but I do understand this:
If you type in the link stated and you are taken to Apple’s page then DNS IS SET UP CORRECTLY.
I'm still confused though. In that article/test in part of its explanation of DNS it says:
If you encounter some applications that continue to work, it may be because they are set up to go directly to an IP address, bypassing the need for DNS service.
Surely typing in http://17.254.0.91 into your browser is a way of making your browser access apple's site *bypassing DNS*? -- because you're using the IP address irradicating the need for changing a name into an IP address. The way to test if DNS is working, surely, is to try and access apple's site via www.apple.com? Not http://17.254.0.91.
Thanks.
