I have a wierd problem when running browsers on my Slackware machine at home, well it's more of a nuisance than a serious problem.
If I go to a non-existent 'root' address, whether using Firefox or Lynx (or presumably other browsers) I always get the gradwell.net hosting message as follows:-
gaa.goo.no hosted by gradwell dot com Ltd
Sorry!
The site you were looking for has not yet been configured by the owner of this site.
If you are the site owner, please use our control panel to configure your site's virtual host.
Please see this www.gradwell.com/support/virtual-hosts support article for information on how to configure your virtual host.
Please remember to input all entries into the control panel in lower case.
If you find that http://www.gaa.goo.no/ works, but http://gaa.goo.no/ does not, then please remember that you must create an additional website rule to enable the other virtual host.
If you have any queries, please contact support@gradwell.net
If I do a 'host gaa.goo.no' on the command line I get the expected "Host gaa.goo.no not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)".
I have my company hosting set up at gradwell.net and my home machine has a CNAME entry in the isbd.net zone file so that home.isbd.net points at my home machine. Is this what's causing the oddity? Why does it only happen in browsers though?
