reported upstream to UltraDNS @ 2009/09/28 19:07 UTC.
Comment 2 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2008-09-28 22:00:56 UTC
This seems to be specific to some subset of the UltraDNS servers.
Paris: Broken
York, England: Broken
Vancouver, Canada: Works
Portland, OR, USA: Works

They use IP anycasting, so I can't identify the actual server(s) that are returning the bad data.

They are looking at it more (mail on mirror-admins@g.o).

After some mails with UltraDNS, they finally gave me this response:
=====
Thank you for contacting Neustar UltraDNS (www.ultradns.biz).

We will be rolling out a bug fix for the web forwarding issue reported last month, later this week.

You should be able to confirm the fix by Saturday October 18th.
