@Eric, please also pick up a book on DNS & BIND and see how you can do just about anything under the sun to a domain name. www is just a record. ./Ok3ch On Thu, Oct 28, 2010 at 1:57 PM, Alex Kamiru <nderitualex@gmail.com> wrote:
This is not URL re-writing (which is done as web server level) but dns resource records entry manipulation.
If you look at facebook case, we have a cname for to www (which could be automated via generate function in bind, possibly)

You'll be surprised to hear that a large proportion of webistes still fail at basic URL rewriting (www vs no-www) - a good exemple, try http://eliteken.com/ and would be (fail to understand why) to a Google Calendar page.
There are people like me who rarely click on link but prefer copy and paste URL in short version without http:// and www
Nonetheless, I don't do URL rewriting for nth level subdomain...

URL rewriting ?

Hi Skunks. I'm just curious as to how you can use multiple WWW portions of the url to access sites like facebook e.g.
http://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.w...
works the same as:
but the same doesn't apply to other websites.
