Bug description:Different configurations for serving www.php.net?

Description:
------------
Hi,

We have a bot that watches for new versions of php by scraping the
website occaisionally.

It sometimes reported that it couldn't find the latest release in the
page.

After debugging for a while I found that sometimes it was being
redirected to `/search.php` by `http://www.php.net`.

Testing lots of queries against `www.php.net` shows different
behaviours,
indicating perhaps a mix of servers for it, with different
configurations?



Test script:
---------------
$ curl -I http://www.php.net/



Expected result:
----------------
Same behaviour whichever backend server is reached.

Actual result:
--------------
Here are two consecutive responses I received with curl -I:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:43:00 GMT
Server: Apache
Last-Modified: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 13:30:11 GMT
Content-language: en
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Set-Cookie: COUNTRY=NA%2C86.31.132.166; expires=Tue, 07-Mar-2017

Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx/1.6.2
Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 14:43:01 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 184
Connection: keep-alive
Location: http://php.net/

You can see that the nginx is behaving differently to the apache.

The bot was seeing a redirect to `/search.php` sometimes, but I haven't
seen that with curl yet.
