I think the site admits to redirecting non-existing domain names. Thats
how it makes it money, by the ads on the redirected pages...

I was just curious about the "tech of DNS Timing" and it was worth using
this type of sites... I guess I'll just muck with it a bit and
eventually report my results...

thanks everyone.
