???  No one is talking about the address of the primary name server, which
is totally irrelevant to the question "is there a web server at X IP address?"

And there is no "redirection" involved here. It's simply how the Domain Name
System works.

h]$ host asenseofart.com
asenseofart.com has address 75.119.196.177
h]$ host asenseofdesign.com
asenseofdesign.com has address 67.205.59.229
h]$ host asenseofpoetics.com
asenseofpoetics.com has address 75.119.204.100
h]$ host asenseof.net
asenseof.net has address 75.119.212.27

Those are the IP addresses of the servers in question; log in and look
at the web server configurations. How is this not clear?

I've never heard anyone use the term "frame forwarded" -- but whatever.
In any case, if frames are being used to provide content from other servers
transparently that's easily determined by viewing the page source.

I never suggested DNS server addresses are relevant to the original
question, because they certainly aren't; host IP addresses are.
