This really irritates me. To the point that I'd strongly consider not buying
a house (I'm kind of in the market atm) if mediacom were the only inet
option. Can anyone confirm more details about what's going on with this? Are
they proxying all http requests through some kind of layer 7 switch in order
to deal w/ 404 requests?

If so, how does this impact web development work? If you hit a php info (for
example this page I just found via google:
http://www.gromacs.org/skins/phpinfo.php) and scroll all the way down to the
php variables section does it have an x_forwarded_for or other proxy
headers?
