So the plug-in does *not* change which dns server you query. if a query fails against your normal name server it just appends .newdotnet.net or, if that fails, makes stuff up. Of course if your regular resolver server was a UDNS server or Earthlink or an ISP that adopted the new.net TLD's you would have found an A record for pie.shop with or without the plug-in. This also means that if your reguler resolver server had your own private .shop zone (perhaps empty), that would take precedence for regular and plug-in queries for that TLD.
