Domain name resolve check and openDNS

In certain programs where a user needs to input a domain and it has to be checked to see if it resolves, how would I go about handling an environment that uses a service like openDNS? With openDNS, even domains that don't resolve, technically do, as they just get directed to the openDNS "cannot resolve" page.
 
There would have to be an actual DNS entry for the site. For example, if my site is xyz.selfip.com, then it will resolve, but if I type in a junk address like asdfkaasdfasfdlkjl.selfip.com it will not resolve. Now the DNS entries will be handled by the doman (selfip.com in my example) so they probably do a 301 redirect if the DNS entry does not exist.
