You mean relative path, right? An absolute path is an absolute path, as far
as I know. For example, "http://www.mydomain.com/sites/mysite/index.htm"; is
the same everywhere.

I'm actually wondering if that's the cause. Maybe because the server has to
leave itself, go through the standard DNS resolution stuff that every
computer must, and reenter itself. It seems stupid, but I can't think of
anything else.
