Definitely looks like a cache-poisoning attack.

Further, compare and contrast:
  curl -vH "Host: www.ben.edu" http://208.91.197.132/

  ua="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)"
  curl -vH "Host: www.ben.edu" -H "User-Agent: $ua" http://208.91.197.132/

There's some JavaScript fetching images via fwdservice.com ... looks
like it might be Google click-fraud?
