That was the assumption I was running under, which is why I was very curious about it. ;) Thanks for the explanation. I'm still not 100% on how a request for someothersite.com would be directed to mysite.com, outside of a server glitch or mis-configuration. But a server glitch is something to watch out for any way. So to paraphrase, "Is nothing safe anymore?". :D
