I think if the site does a 302 redirect to their 404 page, then it doesn't mess with it. But Apache's built in 404 is/was known to trigger it.

I think that sums up their thought process... I can see the DNS redirects, but I don't see how it could *ever* be a good idea to mess with 404s ("I went to see billy bob's Myspace page and I got a damn Mediacom screen! Myspace is broken! asdhioqwerhio132e@!3!1!!!!").

This is what I was getting at before. Will it show a site's custom 404 page if one exists and only show the mediacom 404 page if the site just sends a plain default 404 page? Does it do a redirect when it shows a 404 page or does it appear that the mediacom page is showing up in the site's domain?
