One of my newest pet peeves (not like I have many of them) is the inability of system administrators/DNS administrators to add a root domain entry in their domain name server records. The biggest offender?
oops. Sorry, I meant http://www.pitt.edu.
I wonder how many hits the university loses when someone not saavy enough to add the “www” to the URL just shrugs their shoulders and types cmu.edu?
It’s really not hard to modify your DNS records to allow this. I’ve even done it myself.
