Mostly unrelated: I've always wondered how anyone in the tech industry would go to IBM as a business consultant, when they can't even figure out how to have a website that doesn't require things like "www-03.ibm.com" to be the hostname.

And it's not even like they're just maintaining legacy URI's for search engine purposes, either: Go to ibm.com and click on "Services" > "Cloud Services". For me I got sent to http://www-935.ibm.com. Do they know how load balancers work? Do they just not want a global namespace in the HTTP paths, and everything has to be namespaced by the hundreds of different servers it runs on?
