What IP address were you getting?
toptiergas.com is 69.20.102.218
acdelco.com is 170.224.60.163
Both are registered by GM, though...

well, that's what my lookup shows.
Hang on, let me try my virtual XP machine.
Nope. So it's not a local cache, it's a remote cache or a router
problem.

In this case, not everyone chooses to be special. In any event, their
is no indication that the standard requires payment of any licensing
fees which is the real issue.

yeah, through my corporate VPN it's fine, but through my local ISP it
still goes to ACDelco TechConnect.
Router problems. I've been through this before. It's not worth my time
to call anyone about this.

Try a different nameserver. Also (I hate, loath to say this) try
bouncing your machine if it's Windblows. Or at least flush your
browser's cache. But nameserver is your best bet.
