Hi,

I wonder if one of you can tell me why this keeps (occasionally) happening.

When I visit a web site such as

<http://discussions.info.apple.com/>

my web browser displays

http://discussions.info.apple.com/aub.about.cfm

which is the same as

http://www.jingmei.org/aub.about.cfm.

It happens with various web sites at various times.

If I open a shell and lookup discussions.info.apple.com with 'host' it
resolves to 17.112.147.130, which, when I put it into my browser instead
of the domain, brings up the correct page.

I am accessing it from my Powerbook (10.3.4) using Firefox (0.9.2)
configured to use an http proxy server, and my dns server is running
dnsmasq (2.8).

I know it's not bind, but I hope some of you might be able to give me
some pointers to what could be wrong.

Max.

[1] dnsmasq.conf contains :
interface=eth1
filterwin2k
no-resolv
domain-needed
