"What am I missing?" They were referring to cache poisoning. It is possible on poorly configured DNS servers to fake an authoritative query and temporarily associate a domain name with an IP addy of your chosing which will effectively redirect traffic to a web site of ones chosing. Years ago I demonstrated live and online how this was done for some law enforcement types by changing my own net name to www.whitehouse.gov.

If someone IS doing this to them successfully it is indicative of very poor IT practices and I sure hope they are redirecting their site to some nice filthy porno sites! :)
