ope:
I can understand the attacks but there still seems to be traces of someone fucking something up on the backend. For example, having to click an extra time to get to the forums.
That doesn't look to me like an attack but someone who doesn't quite know how to fix what they broke themselves.

not at all, that looks to me more like a way to redirect traffic to a different machine while a dns change takes place or simply in case they can later switch traffic back to the original machine
looks ugly but whatever works is fine (of course that it could be done in more elegant ways via NAT translations but anyway......)
if you know how dns works you know also that it can take even more than that depending on how long the TTL is set to.
I've set myself the TTL to a week or so at certain sites I manage to minimize billing charges from the dns providers as our bill was going through the roof, downside is, in the event of a change....it takes a long time for cached entries to expire and the new IP to kick in
