Domain redirection according to country, pls explain.
In Mauritius where I live, domain1.com redirects to domain2.mu. But outside, it redirects to an unknown URL in austria. What could have been the cause? Redirection on IP? How was it done assuming the indexpage of domain1.com contains no guilty code?

I'm confused by your question. When I looked, from the US, the index page of domain1.com uses a frame to serve a page from Anahiem, California.

Apparently, there's a trick. It detects where the visitor comes from and then redirects it according to your IP. Ours in MRU starts with 202. Hence 202. are redirected to www.bp.... mu while others are redirected elsewhere to a cybertower page...

But How it did it

FYI, i used anonymizer to foiil it...
