Re:GoDaddy's Fault (Score 1)

Don't be tricked into thinking the problem is fixed. Remember, if you use Firefox first, then one of the browsers that didn't work before, everythin appears to work fine.

I think the GoDaddy servers cache the forwarding URL for some short period of time, thus giving the impression the problem is fixed _after_ you use Firefox or MSIE. If you query GoDaddy with Firefox, then query it again with firefox, it returns a proper 302 header with full URL, so their server responds differently once it has a sucessful connection. This is one of the things that screwed up my analysis of the problem, because it seemed "intermittent" as I played with different browsers. After using Firefox, Lynx would work for a while, then it would fail again.
