You guys are kidding, right?

What makes you think it is not the site doing the redirect? Even if runwolf13 was using a proxy it would not redirect him to a political site such as he described, especially since he says he's coming from a .mil or .gov domain.

Rayraz, that is basic web stuff, where you do a reverse lookup using DNS on an IP address and get a return giving the domain, such as the .mil or .gov. It is normally used for traffic analysis, such as parsing the logs to see where the customers are coming from, but you can choose what action to take based on the results. No scanning involved, just the using the Internet and DNS. Only tricky part is if the IP address doesn't have a reverse lookup entry in DNS.
