Exactly the same page is at http://www.wdr.tv/.

The content of that page is (gathered with tcpdump):
<frameset rows="100%,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0">
<frame
src="http://searchportal.information.com/?a_id=20223&domainname=wdr.tv">
</frameset>

I don't know what the variable a_id is about - maybe a customer-id? However,
domainname can be set to any arbitrary value.

This seems to be the company behind it: http://oversee.net/

Maybe, that would be an explantion considering how the searchportal-thing is
working.
However, I'm 75% through my second run with no results so far.

Will keep you updated.
