I actually do have a vague idea what it is but I am not real sure how is happening and how to avoid it. I was doing a research the other day and landed on this domain;<br><br>p3net.net<br><br>I found a little strange when I logged into this domain because rather than seeing their website, I am seeing our main website page. Then, I performed a dig on their domain and got this output:<br><br>; <<>> DiG 0.0.0 <<>> p3net.net<br>;; global options: +cmd<br>;; Got answer:<br>;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 59<br>;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 3<br><br>;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:<br>; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096<br>;; QUESTION SECTION:<br>;p3net.net.

We all know that the localhost is not routable outside of the internet. Therefore I am sure their
website cannot resolve out of the 127.0.0.1. <br>In addition to that, it is possible that this is happening only here because of the way our Server configuration is setup in the OS X to bring the resolver to the localhost first before it can go out to the distributed domains/websites through the Apache conf.<br>In my name configuration I have everything going to their respective internal non-routable separated ip addresses and localhost resolve to localhost only. I do not have any domain or website pointing to the localhost directly on my name conf.<br>Every website point to their respective internal ip addresses only. Ps: (If the information I am giving appears to be too vague and you need any specific information, please, ask!)<br></span></div><div> <br>Thanks!<br><br>Eduardo<br></div><div>--<br>Eduardo Bonsi<br>System Admin<br>beartcom@pacbell.net</div></div></body></html>
