This appears to be what is supposed to happen. However clicking on the second link brings up something that I think is suspicious. Anything that adds cookies I am wary of.

rocknbil join:2007-12-15 Grants Pass, OR 1 edit	reply to seagreen Yes, isn't that INTERESTING? Are you on satellite? Try some garbage URL, include the http. like »www.sddtgbrgdfgdfgfds.com. For anyone not on HughesNet, that is what you will get. It's a special treatment just for their "valued customers." EDIT: HA! This morning it's returning the usual "DNS lookup error" for a computer that does not have the cookie set to "opt out." Perhaps they have pulled the DNS hijack in reaction to my complaints. I will keep checking, we have several comps here on a router and I have one with the "cookie set" and another without.

So that link brings up a valid page for you? Can you get a screenshot?
