For fun I'm going to set up a www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www record.

http://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.example.com shows as example.com

E: I'll add it to my certs later but I did it: https://www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.www.aish...

E2: http://www.example.www.example.org shows up as example.example.org - this is fun.

Re: E2 (http://www.example.www.example.org === example.example.org)

I just found the same thing. How exactly is this a feature? What an insane decision.

That is absolutely insane and someone should be fired and shamed for this. I didn't like just trimming a pure www. but trimming any www. in the hostname is just dumb behaviour.

How would I differentiate between loadbalancer1.www.intranet and loadbalancer1.intranet? THOSE ARE NOT THE SAME.

Wow. You could do some pretty amazing spoofing with the www.com domain, then.
