The reason to visit a web site never existed in reality. As far as the HTTP 1.1 issue for legit web sites hosted on the same IP, although I do agree that a link to the original page would be nice, it still is an un-acceptable disruption IMHO. Besides, it might prove difficult to provide, as the HTML content would need to be dynamic based on the domain, we're talking decapsulating the traffic to extract the domain name and embed it into the HTML code to provide the link. > Stephen J.
