If that uses the server's headers to determine, then it's pretty much
unreliable (not that it gives wrong info, but that it might _not_ give any
info if i change the variables at compile time ). Plus, it doesn't give
any info on sites which don't have a DNS entry.
The utilities which you can use on your "own" machine are much more
desirable .. more so because you feel in control and can actually peek at
the code to see what it does ... ;-)
