That's your browser "trying" to be helpful. If it is Firefox this can be turned off with about:config and browser.fixup.alternate.enabled to false. The default is true.
put a dot on the end, and https://www.dk-hostmaster.dk/ if I do.
Safari, Mozilla and Google Chrome all fail to resolve "http://dk/" on my Mac but all resolve "http://dk./". Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: marka () isc org
