Aha, I am able to query using a third-party DNS server. I had tried this 
earlier but assumed that the requests were being blocked by Videotron, 
but in reality the DNS servers where I work are simply refusing my 
requests (which is a good thing, actually).

If anyone is interested, OpenDNS.com looks interesting. Their name 
servers are:

	208.67.222.222
	208.67.220.220
