Earthlink has set their DNS to return the squatter page to unknown 
requests like verisign tried to do last year. It breaks a lot of 
anti-spam stuff as a side "benefit" too.

I'd try changing who you are using for DNS lookups. I have a meeting to 
go sleep through or I'd apply Goggle-fu, but I seem to recall 
alternative DNS services having been discussed here before. You might 
try a search on the archive.
