You can put a ".default" entry in your hosts.cfg, with the testip tag. See
the "DEFAULT HOST" notes down near the bottom of this man page:

Hello,
We recently moved our DNS hosting infrastructure to DNS Made Easy. The
price is great, the DNS resolution speed is amazing, and it has all the
features one could hope for. Except one feature that happens to be a big
bug in my opinion:
Any query that would normally return an NXDOMAIN instead returns
54.235.159.97 and they direct you to a webpage to tell you that the domain
doesn't exist. This was not discovered in our testing. I'm extremely
unsettled by this.
Turns out we have thousands of entries in hosts.cfg that don't resolve to
real hostnames. This is mostly intentional; it's RFC1918 stuff on
management VLANs. Unfortunately due to the lack of a "testip" entry Xymon
is following this wildcard that is being injected by DNS Made Easy. I've
started adding it in batches but this is very tedious. Can I tell xymon
globally to behave as if "testip" was set everywhere?
Thanks
