[quote author="Yorick Peterse" date="1243951350"]It does it using Curl I believe. [/quote]
Why should the url shortener service act as a proxy? If it's an outside url the best thing to do is just forward to the url using a 301 error message. If the service stops search engines will have the correct url instead of the shortened url.

If the service acts as a proxy the server setup is more costly than with the forwarding solution.
