Hi everyone,
I've run into a strange "problem" on my powerbook. I've been doing some web development on a few sites hosted at a commercial webhost, and ever since then, one of those domain names seems to have hijacked my DNS.
What happens is this - sites work normally, but whenever I go to / ping a site that's down or doesn't exist, I get redirected to myworkdomain.org!
For example, if I go to amazon.ca, but for some reason amazon is down at that moment (rare, I know), it sends me to amazon.ca.myworkdomain.org.
If I go into a terminal and ping some non-existant name, like dfhsjdkfh, then it starts pinging dfhsjdkfh.myworkdomain.org! It's extremely spooky/frustrating, because every little typo that I make or every time it can't resolve the name for whatever reason it sends me back to that site.
It's not my etc/hosts file; here are its contents:
Is there anything else I should be looking at? I have another computer on the network (Ubuntu Linux), and it's not affected.
