Re: DNS poisoning at Google?

DNS seems to check out from here. Tested against Google DNS, OpenDNS
and Linode's DNS servers.

According to Google:
"Malicious software is hosted on 1 domain(s), including couchtarts.com/."

Normally, I would say this happens due to malicious ads loaded but
this does not seem to be a site that will contain ads. :)

Is it possible that some malicious software is listening and injecting a
redirect on the wire?  We've seen this before with a Windows machine being
infected.

Google Safe Browsing and Firefox have marked our website as containing
malware. They claim our home page returns no results, but redirects users
to another compromised website couchtarts.com.

We have thoroughly examined our root .htaccess and httpd.conf files and
are not redirecting to the problem target site. No recent changes either.

We ran some NSLOOKUPs against various public DNS servers and
intermittently get results that are NOT our servers.

We believe the DNS servers used by Google's crawler have been poisoned.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
