Not entirely correct. This doesn't work for many hotel paywalls, because they would have a catch-all rule for all DNS A queries (resolving to a local IP of authenticating proxy) and block everything else. And the reason is exactly because of the DNS tunneling, which was making rounds in p2p circles as far back as 2005 if not earlier.
