The Mediacom DNS servers are messed up. When I go to microsoft's "bing.com" search engine and search for "sears cashback" and select the first link, I keep getting a Mediacom error page "We did not find results for: . Try the suggestions below or type a new query above". My Mediacom assigned DNS: 97.64.187.150 and 74.84.119.153

If I change my DNS servers to 204.127.203.135, and 216.148.225.135; it works fine.

The first part of the URL is 0.r.msn.com which returns a ip address of 207.46.118.158. (name resolves to r.msn.com.nsatc.net).

I don't understand this. Using the Mediacom DNS should only affect the IP address returned but it is preventing the long URL from loading. This seems like Mediacom DNS request is triggering some kind of web proxy to return the error for the HTTP request.

Can others reproduce this behavior?
