Try connecting to them by ip number - picking a page that doesn't contain references to other DNS records. Then find a site or a friend who can put a site on a port other than 80 or 8080 and see if that is mysteriously fast even using DNS.
If its the former then its probably DNS issues. If it goes away with non port 80 its someones transparent proxy - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
