If you enter a name which is actually a directory but omit the trailing /, the server will redirect you with the new URL containing the trailing / so subsequent relative links will work. If you have UseCanonicalName on, it will use the name specified as ServerName for the redirect even if your inital URL used an alias or IP. Regardless, all DNS lookups should be done at the browser client side. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
