You don't have to enter every possible misspelling, but you should always set up
www.mydomain.com and mydomain.com at the same time. It adds about 1 second of work and
gains you perhaps 30% more visitors. Where DO you point mydomain.com? At your FTP
server? At your firewall?

Thanks for pointing out this oversight. The A record for figleaf.com was
pointing at the old host address. We recently changed our ISP, and this was
a leftover.

If a user wants to get your ftp or gopher server, then they can enter the
full URL. This is just a simple DNS issue we'r

But it's mostly counterproductive. www.domain.com and domain.com A
records both return the the same ip, WTF else do you want to at port

Having an A record lookup of www and domain.com return different ip's

Well, grouping the dns's so "www.figleaf.com" and "figleaf.com" map to the
same thing wouldn't really be an issue. The

I can't believe that's done on purpose. About 1/3 of my traffic comes in
without the www part. Do those companies think people will keep searching
until they find the site?

www.figleaf.com comes up for me, but figleaf.com does not. Probably just an
oversight, if it's a DNS thing.

I just checked the site and it looks completely different. I bet you hit it
