My ISP's DNS resolves www.spamihilator.com to give 127.0.0.1

How did you discover that?

C:\WINDOWS>nslookup www.spamihilator.com
Server: dns.hq.svc.zen.net.uk
Address: 212.23.3.100

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.spamihilator.com
Address: 127.0.0.1

However another server gives the IP address as 212.112.229.50.

And entering that into the browser address bar resolves the site.

Looks like either the DNS server has been hacked or
someone has set it up wrongly.

The DNS server? Which one?

One of the DNS servers of the company hosting the site. The A record on one
server gives 127.0.0.1 while the other gives the correct IP address.
