Comment(by eric225125):

 It seems this problem is related to my DNS server. The two incorrect IP
 addresses are somehow resolved from my ISP's server. I tried OpenDNS's and
 had the same problem. After switching to another DNS server from my ISP,
 my IP address is correctly resolved.

 This is the message I get with the bad DNS servers:
 Dec 08 16:52:15.401 [notice] Your DNS provider has given "67.215.65.132"
 as an answer for 11 different invalid ad
 dresses. Apparently they are hijacking DNS failures. I'll try to correct
 for this by treating future occurrences
 of "67.215.65.132" as 'not found'.

 I had thought this was harmless, but I guess not.
