In this particular case, there is no difference. Both names point to the same IP address:


1-sec# nslookup www.bsdcon.kwiki.org
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    www.bsdcon.kwiki.org
Address:  65.214.160.247

2-sec# nslookup bsdcon.kwiki.org
Server:  localhost
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    bsdcon.kwiki.org
Address:  65.214.160.247

You see different sites for the different names because the server is using named virtual domains. In other words, the fact that your browser connects via one name or the other is the reason why you see different content as the result.
