That one was in use but abandoned (most short ones appear to be), so you're welcome to it.



Thanks. And thanks for your generosity. I will remember this and hope to be in a position to give back to the community in a similar fashion some day.

Question: are you implementing this in such a way that you can measure redirects? Because that would seem to be a great way to gauge and sample the relative popularity of a wide variety of very interesting sites--excellent business intelligence.


It started off as just two domains, I'm actually a bit overwhelmed by the response, but that's nice as well.

For now what will happen is that I will set up DNS entries for all the A records and CNAMES, I don't feel like spying on anybodies traffic.

The two people that have asked for redirects to paths I'll have to handle in a different way, so I will have to make an exception for those two. The temptation to handle everybody with a db table in ww.com is definitely there but I think that it is better to handle things at the DNS level.

More reliable, better privacy.
