...I was presented with the default page from the WWW
server on my own machine. WTF? But then I notice that
the DNS is in fact resolving that address to 127.0.0.1
which, at least in my experience, seems weird.
Is this in fact some sort of normal situation, like maybe
that's the standard way a dormant domain gets "parked" ?
I've seen this a lot more then I would have thought. Mostly people do it
for like localhost.domain.com, not for www :)
We have quite a few customers that have at least one item pointed to
127.0.0.1.
Well, it's odd, but the manager of that domain can set whatever IPs he wants
to do for these things. It's definitely not parked. Here's the output of a
zone transfer below which shows that the owner set peertech.org and
www.peertech.org to resolve to localhost, while he setup MX records, and
domains for vpn and home.
Perhaps he has just a sense of humor?
