I've seen it before in my trips around the web. I didn't get a
default page, but got 2 different sites with/without a period. But
like you said, it probably chokes on it and falls back to the default
site or something.
IIS *is* a known issue.

Hi
I've just been looking at a site and accidentally added an extra dot
to the end of the domain name, rather than getting the site I got a MS
small business server 2003 admin page.
e.g.
http://www.site.com gives the real site
http://www.site.com. gives the admin page
I assume that this is something to do with IIS not parsing the url
correctly so giving the default website rather than the vhost with
that address. Is this a known issue? I tried to google but couldn't
think what to google for!
