Yeah - this could be caused by some crack proxy that strips out the
'Host' header or something similar.  It seems that www.banshee-
project.org and www.beagle-project.org are hosted on the same machine
(64.14.94.162) and just going to that IP address (http://64.14.94.162)
takes me to the bansee site.  So, without the 'Host' header the web
server doesn't know which site you want and just gives you the banshee
page.  Of course, I don't know why there would be a proxy that strips
out that header, but that is what makes it a crack proxy.

Mark.
