not necessarily. DNS cache poisoning can be a pretty insidious and focused
attack, although why anyone would do that to digest.net is beyond me. in any
event, since you told me off list that www.digest.net is mapping to 192.94.170.10,
that's not the issue, as that is the correct mapping.

who are you using for actual access? do you know if they are doing a web
proxy thing (transparent or explicit)?
