Hello All,

A little off topic, but I was wondering if there's any Qwest/CenturyLink 
network engineers or techs lurking on this list that would contact me 
offlist?

I won't bore people with the details, but I'm seeing what appears to be 
a transparent proxy on some sites when visited from multiple clients 
(all with Qwest DSL).  When browsing on our non-Qwest circuits (such as 
the T1s), we do not see the same behaviors.

Its concerning to say the least, and something I'd like to get a clear 
and straight answer about.

Thanks!
