In this particular case, there is no difference. Both names point to the same IP address: 1-sec# nslookup www.bsdcon.kwiki.org Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name:www.bsdcon.kwiki.org Address: 65.214.160.247 2-sec# nslookup bsdcon.kwiki.org Server: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1 Name:bsdcon.kwiki.org Address: 65.214.160.247 You see different sites for the different names because the server is using named virtual domains. In other words, the fact that your browser connects via one name or the other is the reason why you see different content as the result. -- -Chuck ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

No difference whatsoever, as you may have noted that both hostnames resolve to the same IP address. Likely they are different folders on the same server. This would be an example of "name based virtual hosting", which is possible since the implementation of HTTP 1.1 The server recognizes the browser's request by name (bsdcon.kwiki.org) and serves from the web folder configured to receive that request. www.bsdcon.kwiki.org sends you to some other folder in the same way, or perhaps it is unconfigured and sends you instead to the 'default' folder at that site. Seems unusual that it would be in DNS and not specifically configured, but that's a possibility. > My place of employment is a large > agency with thousands of client machines.

Domino operating system. You said that already, too. I feel sorry for them, maybe ;-) Nonetheless, welcome to the world of FreeBSD.
