Since learning what 'fully qualified' really means, I've assumed this falls into an area of arcane trivia that many, if not most of the applications built atop the DNS probably don't implement correctly. Nearly every time this topic comes up at work it's due to a junior admin publishing something.tld.something.tld in our DNS, and I mostly get blank stares when I talk about the trailing dot and implied root in what's commonly thought to be FQDN's.
At the same time, $WORK website fails to load when requested with the trailing dot (also running Apache). Maybe time to address that. A couple other funny examples: Apache: https://www.cio.gov./ Nginx (cloudflare): https://www.ietf.org./ (the cloudflare example just be them caching the response from IETF's apache backend servers - https://ietf.org./ yeilds a 400 response from Apache) Eli On Sat, Jun 6, 2015 at 3:13 PM, Fred Morris <m3...@m3047.net> wrote: > On Saturday 06 June 2015 09:56, Fred Morris wrote: >> [...] >> Thoughts?
