The script was simple. I passed the real URL in via the query string like: http://www.fakedomain.com/something.php?http://www.realdomain.com/story-url and I never had problems. I think it's just doing a string match against the domain in the story URL; there's no advanced "whois" logic or anything.

But I don't it's sustainable. If the digg moderators or influential users don't like your topic, or you, then they'll just keep banning.
