Quoting the same page

Domain Guessing has a couple important limitations:

1.bla bla bla

2. Inconsistent use.

 Domain Guessing affects URLs that have only a hostname (http://mozilla/index.html) but not fully qualified domain names, "FQDNs" (http://www.mozilla.org).

My guess is that unilever has a hostname and a fully qualified domain name as well and for some reason I can access both, though the content is similar.

I dont use AK and it works fine. am using FF 3.5.1. and FF 3.0.12 ( my normal work setup is such that i use two or sometimes 3 comps at the same time. Each on different networks. today am working with two and they are both resolving regardless of the domain name and as long as the domain name ends in .com it will resolve. so i did a bit and digging and this is what i found that its a feature on FF called Domain Guessing. Apparently its there by default but can be switched on and off...

Not entirely true. I use FF as well but the phenomena described is only true when you are on AK link. If you throw in a proxy (external to AK network) into FF, it doesn't happen. And in this case, the domain in question is unilever...
