@Robotnik True, but that's not quite germane here - this post is mainly interested with redirects from SE domains to non-SE domains (since it's only in cases where those redirects are absent that http://%s.stackexchange.com/ fails). There are a number of other instances of non-SE domains redirecting to SE domains, including seasonedadvice.com, askdifferent.com, miyodeya.com, and so forth.

| Jul 29, 2015 at 7:16 | comment | added | rene Mod | shouldn't the meta.mathoverflow missing dns entry not be a seperate bug instead of hidden in this feature request? Seeing the answers on the other question I don't expect it gets fixed but it separates the different cases more clearly. | |

| Jul 28, 2015 at 23:16 | comment | added | senshin | @tchrist I just voted to close in the other direction since I think my writeup here is better than the other question. | |

@snailplane Oh, right, . is the global root domain name, isn't it? My bad, carry on. :P

| Jan 6, 2014 at 11:28 | comment | added | user215040 | @senshin Yes, that was my point :-) | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 11:23 | comment | added | senshin |
@snailplane I think that's just because you put a period after the .com. http://www.stackoverflow.com/ works fine.

| Jan 6, 2014 at 11:01 | comment | added | user215040 | That's true, SO does error out on unknown domains. You can't even get a valid response from http://www.stackoverflow.com./. | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 6:41 | comment | added | John Dvorak | I can't fix this with a userscript, should I learn NodeJS? Oh wait, I can fix this with a userscript. In any case, however, client-side fixes won't help Google serve from domains that are outside the real SE domain. Oh wait, maybe I can tell Google to. | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 6:11 | comment | added | user50049 | Mmmm, careful hacking the hosts file for this, we do have multiple data centers - so you probably want to avoid using the IPs directly. | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 4:23 | comment | added | Jeremy | I don't think you could just get around this with just DNS/HOSTS changes; you'd need to configure a server to serve the redirect. The Stack Exchange servers just throw up an error page for unknown domains of any sort. Stack Overflow doesn't have a unique IP you could point to. (edit: example config and result) | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 3:46 | comment | added | senshin | @djechlin By modifying the HOSTS file, right? I guess that's a reasonable workaround that I hadn't thought of, thanks. | |
| Jan 6, 2014 at 3:33 | comment | added | djechlin | FWIW you could hack this for yourself at the DNS level. | |
