The short answer is that I don't know why it would fail in that 
situation. But I've never tried it, and never envisioned the service 
having 2 FQDNs simultaneously, so it doesn't suprise me at all if that 
doesn't work. ;-)

Always good to allow a little leeway to account for the unexpected (HTTP 
headers perhaps?).
