I believe the reason the URLs in global.ent have the "-306" attached to www are because we occasionally run a script that checks all of the URLs in the manual; if a given URL reports a 301 ("Moved Permanently"), then global.ent is updated to reflect the "preferred" URL.
This is actually IBM's fault; if the change of URL is not permanent, then they should be using 302 status codes. Instead, there are a mix of 302 and 301 status codes. See below for a wget request on "http://ibm.com/db2". Otherwise, we could just point to nice, neat URLs like "http://ibm.com/db2/" instead of "http://www-306.ibm.com/software/data/db2" (which are actually subject to change, despite the 301 claiming otherwise). $ wget --save-headers http://ibm.com/db2 --08:58:01-- http://ibm.com/db2 => `db2' Resolving ibm.com... 129.42.17.103, 129.42.18.103, 129.42.16.103 Connecting to ibm.com|129.42.17.103|:80... connected.
