re:
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010e.html#19 What's with IBMLINK now??

one issue is that people may be actually going to different
machines/gateways

I've seen it with "ibm greater connection" ... there are various
webhosting services ... with multiple physical locations around the
world ... where connection is directed to the "closest" facility.  Lots
of big coporations will outsource some part of their operation to such a
facility (in part because they have these massive operations at several
places around the planet).

at various times when something is going on ... i've had SSL
certificates come back from the underlying webhosting facility
... rather the SSL certificate for the ibm server that I'm trying to
connect to.

there are lots of tricks played mapping URL to multiple different
physical pieces of hardware .. (like load balancing, server with the
least number of internet hops, etc). sometimes maintenance on all these
pieces can get out of sync (as well as the setup for the alias
identities for possible different physical boxes).

complicating this was item a month or so ago about reports of attacks on
some number of (well-known) SSL servers.
