This isn't a computer problem, but I don't know where to post this, exactly.
I notice when I bring campfires over from Skins's island, there's generally three types of "addresses" on the links:
democraticunderground.com
sync.democraticunderground.com
demopedia.democraticunderground.com
What does one suppose is the significance of this "sync" and "demopedia" stuff?
Maybe the elusive enigmatic Elad is trying to be clever, or something?

Looks like it... they all go to the same place. Maybe it was done to keep the primitives from breaking things.

All the ones I bring over are democraticunderground.com . Could it be something with whether a person is logged in or the age of the thread?

I dunno; I'm trying to figure that out right now.

Be careful of the links you may bring over from DU, too. I have found them to contain links and content from the media outlets that are suing everybody, Rainhaven (or whatever)

Any text prior to the final . (.com, .gov, .edu etc.) in a url is merely what the web site designer has opted to use for their registered domain name that points back to a registered IP address.
In other words the "sync" and "demopedia" at the beginning of the url doesn't actually have any real significance as far as I know.

It could be setup for future use with a redirect to DU for the moment........

Yeah, that's got to be of concern for everybody, but as a general rule, threads posted in the DUmpster quote primitive comments, not news stories.

I can't tell you exactly how many offending posts I deleted that were in the DUmpster. (I got tired of editing)

It's whoever supports their domain trying to split some load up or impliment the framework to split some load up by sending it to different "servers" (which may or may not reside on the same physical madhine or interface).
For example - library.domain.com and www.domain.com could be set up and the end user could have to authenticate on the server called "www" before being passed off to the server called "library". "www" and "library" may or may not be the same physical machine.
It's a bit more complicated than that but I'm trying to keep this in laymans terms.

It's a lot more complicated than that. No two servers can have the same logical IP address.

In small domains , mail.domain.com and web.domain.com are often the same physical interface and have only the one IP Address.

Of course. At that point it is an issue of called port number. Port 25 for STMP, port 80 for HTTP etc.

Your web servers listening service port can accept connections to multiple domain names - all on the same port. In fact you could run a blog, a fishing site, a DUmmy forum, and whatever else on one server with one ip address and as many domain names as you'd like.
