From a technical perspective this is possible, I think. But it would mean one of two things:

1. Your implementation/OSes default configuration is messed up. 2. You accidentally messed up your local configuration yourself.

If 4rergdes0903004059 is a zone owned by Xerox (i.e. the zone public key), there is not reason why staples.com would point there unless 1. or 2.

Ah, so the answer is basically no, since the key to the zone would not allow this mapping so long as everything was configured correctly. I did not see the key part but I did skim the article. Thanks!
