Interesting.

I had already done the whois.

But I had not thought to do the nslookup.

(I suppose the times that I could see differences between my site and 
the other site may have just been caching effects.)

Now, why would somebody direct THEIR site to MY comp-arch.net site? 
What's the advantage in that?

The suspicious part of me suspects prepping for something nefarious.

(Of course, it might always be a DNS takeover, resulting in MY site 
being directed to HIS.  ...  No, doesn't seem to be, since that is the 
only site that I pay for a "unique IP" on (Dreamhost doesn't do static 
IPs), and that is what Dreamhost, accessed across HTTPS, reports.  I 
suppose it is possible that they have taken over Dreamhost. )
