I was redirected to publicknowledge.org
Next attempt I was redirected to techp.org
Then back to publicknowledge.org, then fsf.org

It's not a dns trick, it resolves only to the same dsl line:
$ host tuxedo.org
tuxedo.org has address 66.92.236.83
$ host 66.92.236.83
83.236.92.66.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer dsl092-236-083.phl1.dsl.speakeasy.net.

It's also not an iptables redirect trick(most likely).  It's probably
just their configuration for apache.  This appears to be the real web
host: http://www.wayreth.net/

Everytime I connect with telnet and issue an http/1.0 request or an
errored 1.1 request wayreth.net responds.  Also that
dsl092-236-083.phl1.dsl.speakeasy.net goes to wayreth.net.

$ telnet www.tuxedo.org 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

Trying 66.92.236.83...
