Could just be host-headering on the web server which I'd guess is pretty
common nowdays, especially with ISPs. Microsoft IIS supports it, so must
most other servers. It returns pages based upon the URL in the request and
saves you from needing an IP to assign per site.

telnet to port 80 of a site and use GET / HTTP/1.0 , i get a different web
page from using IE to get to that site. Did the site use a proxy server to
analyze HTTP  header and return a page upon the header ? Which
NAT/Proxy/Firewall scheme was probably used ?
