RE: Web server DNS name

["Andrew M Stemen" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I may be restating something that has already been suggested, but what I
would do is have some web server respond to 'telephone' on port 80, and the
index page would just redirect you to the actual web page that you want to
go to - which could be any path, since when redirecting, you could type in
any URL to send the user to...
