That's Cablevision. They don't provide Internet access only something
remotely similar. I suggest to read this thread:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/message/22192

I guess it would be a good idea to enforce TLS for ranges known to be
broken. Of course, nobody else supports it.

It could be a push proxy or maybe in some cases the panes may really
show a wrong IP address for example if the search result used a
private or bogus IP address so that a push transfer is required.

Do these DNS entries appear in search results? Or do you have an idea
where they come from otherwise? GTKG does not handle results with
hostnames very well.

Not really but everything goes through socket_connect() or
socket_connect_by_name() so if you place a break point there or add
some wrapper around them, it should be possible to figure it out for
each connection attempt.
