Again, turned out to be my own stupidity. It was just DNS on a secondary
DNS server, which was pointing to the old IP, which was redirecting to the
new IP, but at that point, the headers are lost.
I would have thought that on MacOSX (my client; the server is FreeBSD
7.2-STABLE), if I tell the /etc/resolv.conf to look at the primary name
server only, which has the correct info, plus doing a dnscacheutil
-flushcache, that this wouldn't be an issue.
Apparently, I was wrong, or perhaps it doesn't override what Verizon does
with my browser's queries, despite what nslookup shows in a terminal
window.

Disregard my disregard. The problem resurfaced with no changes on my part.
I purged browser caches and tried them from 3 browsers and each time:
http://www.countytheater.org
redirected to: http://webmail.ns3.pil.net/ which is another NameVhost on
that server sharing that IP. This is incorrect. However, I then switch from
a Verizon connection to an ATT 3g connection on the IPhone and the problem
goes away.
Has anyone heard of upstream transparent caching issues causing this kind of
problem? Does anyone else here get the redirect instead of the correct page?
TIA

Please disregard this idiocy of mine...it appears that the Apache
UseCanonicalName directive selectively breaks some NameVirtualHosts, while
leaving others unscathed, but turning it off fixed it anyway.

Sorry if this is a little OT, but we're seeing a serious problem and was
wondering if it is what I think it is.
In short: I have been moving services off of our servers in a data center
onto a server at eSecuredata, who rents dedicated servers. The idea is to
lower costs and eliminate having to deal with hardware.
The advertise "unmetered bandwidth", but mention QoS measure to control
"bandwidth hogs".
One of my customers, whose site I just moved from a unique IP virtual host
on my old server onto an Apache NameVirtualHost on the new one, worked
fine at first. Then today, they started complaining about getting one of
our home pages. I figured DNS or web caching issues, until I started
seeing it for myself. It was no caching issue, it was NameVirtualHost
breaking.
I poured over my configs (I've done this config countless times), and saw
this in the apache docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/vhosts/name-based.html
" Some operating systems and network equipment implement bandwidth
management techniques that cannot differentiate between hosts unless they
are on separate IP addresses."
So, I installed lynx on the server, and sure enough, it worked perfectly
fine there, just not from anywhere outside eSecuredata's network that I
could see.
Can anyone shed any light on this particular practice, of this company in
particular?
