Have you tried using Google Webmaster tools?

I forgot how to lookup our AS number to see if it matches couchtarts.

Typically if google were pulling your site sometimes from the wrong IP,
their safe browsing page should indicate it being on another AS number in
addition to the correct one 2152:

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http
://www.csulb.edu

For example, the couchtarts site they claim yours is redirecting to:

http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http
://www.couchtarts.com

That site's DNS is screwed up and some requests are sent to a different IP
at a different host, so Google picked up both AS numbers.

Could one of your domain's subdomains be what is actually infected?  You
seem to have a bunch of them, maybe google is penalizing the whole domain
over a subdomain?  Not sure if they do that or not.

If your sites are running off of an application like wordpress, etc., you
may not get the same page that google gets and the application may have
been hacked.
Here's a wget command you can use to make requests to your site pretending
to be google:

wget -c \
--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1;
+http://www.google.com/bot.html)" \
--output-document=googlebot.html 'http://www.csulb.edu&apos;

nanog will probably line wrap that user agent line making it not correct
so you'll have to put it back together correctly.  It will save the output
to a file named googlebot.html you can look at to see if anything weird
ends up being served.

Google Safe Browsing and Firefox have marked our website as containing
malware. They claim our home page returns no results, but redirects
users to another compromised website couchtarts.com.

We have thoroughly examined our root .htaccess and httpd.conf files
and are not redirecting to the problem target site. No recent changes
either.

We ran some NSLOOKUPs against various public DNS servers and
intermittently get results that are NOT our servers.

We believe the DNS servers used by Google's crawler have been
poisoned.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
