Hmmm... Bogus exit nodes or bogus DNS servers ? Is it possible that the strange side effects comes, not from the exit nodes themselves, but from the DNS server used by these exit nodes ? A kind of DNS poisonning? (From a local DNS server or Remote DNS server...) Ref.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_poisoning Our suspicions about "bogus exit nodes" must be based on facts so I suggest to collect information about this issue here. What we can do is to report any "strange side effect" including: the link to the web site the resulting link with the redirection like the ones we're talking about the exit node used to access this web site :) -- Claude LaFrenière
