It's not so simple as that. There's a lot of built in security checks that need to be bypassed apparently. If it could be done with a simple DNS check, I'm sure they would have. I've seen lots of DNS bypass things for the PS3 for example. One of them hosts an online server for Metal Gear Online, another for Demon's Souls, and another for the DLC in Metal Gear Solid 4. Heck, on the PS4 there's a DNS hack to allow me to redownload P.T. if I delete it.
But there's a key restriction. These things only work if you already have an authorized copy of these games. They can't be used to allow you to download content you don't already own and have registered on the system as belonging to you. That P.T. DNS hack I mentioned only works on systems that had at one point downloaded that P.T. demo. Very helpful, but incomplete.
