The DNS side is fine.. For example, <a href="http://eztv.it" target="_blank">eztv.it</a> resolves to 212.63.212.35, which is the correct address. My own domain (<a href="http://code0.net" target="_blank">code0.net</a>) resolves to 209.9.237.21 which is correct, but if I hit <a href="http://code0.net/blah" target="_blank">code0.net/blah</a> (which doesn't exist), I get the Mediacom redirect rather than an Apache generated 404. Maybe this is another use they've found for DPI?<br>
<br>
I could grab a packet capture if anyone is interested...<br>

OK, that doesn't make sense to me. There's not much more there than DNS<br>
and HTTP.<br>
<br>
What happens when you try a dig directly against the OpenDNS servers,<br>
then turn around and use that IP in a telnet test to port 80?<br>

Nope...<br>

Just tried to proxy with Ziproxy via a VPS I have.. It's on an uncommon<br>
port (randomly chosen), and requires HTTP basic auth, but Mediacom still<br>
fsck'd with it..<br>

Is it fixed by using a web proxy?<br>

I knew that from before and have been using OpenDNS for quite a while..<br>
The problem now is that they seem to be doing it at a higher level than<br>
DNS..<br>

I've had problems with that for a while now. I started using OpenDNS<br>
rather than trusting their servers.<br>

It seems that Mediacom has taken their "redirection" service to a new<br>
level.. Now 404s (depending on the site) also go to their damn search<br>
service!!! Can anyone else confirm this?<br>
<br>
