That happened to me once too, but I don't have a proxy (unless my ISP has one for some reason).
It's actually fairly common for ISPs to use transparent proxies to save money by moving a lot of duplicate web traffic to their internal network and thus reducing their Internet bandwidth usage.
You wouldn't even know it was there, unless of course it went horribly wrong and started eating pages. :)
Or coughing up old pages 72 hours after I've uploaded a replacement, like my ISP's broadband proxy does from time to time. Their support staff tried to deny it existed at one point.
