Hi there,

Two times in the last three months I’ve had Rails start serving up  
some links as .com/page rather than [mysite.com/page](http://mysite.com/page).  
The are sites are completely unrelated to my site, and I have no idea  
why it did it. The first time it occured, the other site was  
[google.com](http://google.com). The second time it was [tragicallynull.com](http://tragicallynull.com). Sadly I can’t  
remember how I resolved it the first time, and the second time it went  
away after I deployed some recent updates I’d made.

Any any know why this would happen, or what might cause it? Perhaps  
even some tests I can run? I’m not even sure how to reproduce it at  
this stage.

Tim.
