I believe there is some kind of proxy/cache for international traffic from Telstraclear's cable network.
I understand TelstraClear, and many other NZ ISPs, have transparent HTTP proxies. Maurico's question is relevant since TelstraClear's proxy breaks things if you're using OpenDNS and a CDN like Akamai.
The proxy is set up in such a way, it ignores the destination IP address being requested and instead takes the requested hostname, resolves it via DNS and fetches the page from the resolved server IP.
That's the normal way they work, yes. I've seen this behaviour also. I think your best bet is to use your own proxy (ssh -D) and talk to your international host that way. Sam.
