The guix-download test includes this snippet:
------
# Make sure it fails here.
if guix download http://does.not/exist
then false; else true; fi
------
Unfortunately, many ISPs (such as T-Mobile) return bogus results for
otherwise unclaimed domain names, causing this test to fail.
Does anyone know if there is some domain that is designed to fail as a
"standard", as <http://example.com> is intended to be used for examples
of good domains?

Could we simply mock the expected response?

http://fail.0
fails to resolve with "ping: bad address 'fail.0'. This was run on an OpenNIC connected computer.

Yes, this has been reported several times in the past and marked as
“wontfix”. :-)

There’s an RFC defining example.org et al. These domain names are
guaranteed to exist, so we’d be testing something different; also, I
don’t know if the RFC defines pages guaranteed to be 404, for instance.
