Обсуждение: What's the deal with this site? - More FYI than anything else...
http://eastside.wirebound.net/ I notice that its pretty deep in the google (showing up in search results fairly high), and seems to be a mirror of some sort. Just noticed it and was wondering if that's something that's known/sanctioned....or if its a mirror that is misbehaving. chander

I suspected that. However, shouldn't it show up as wwwX.postgresql.org, as opposed to directly via eastside? The fact that it's getting into google's cache via a different name seems like kind of a problem, since google doesn't like the duplicate content (for one, AFAIK it hurts pagerank)...and you've now got things so that if eastside goes away/changes names in the future, people will get a bunch of bad links from google for awhile... Perhaps a permanennt redirect from the eastside URL to the same URL with the www.postgresql.com domain?

It's not like we are actively refering to eastside.wirebound.net anywhere on the main site - so I'm not sure why it is actually showing up in google using that particular hostname. > > Perhaps a permanennt redirect from the eastside URL to the same URL with > the www.postgresql.com domain? well that assumes that eastside.wirebound.net is not supposed to carry any other content - and btw all our www-mirrors do actually have different hostnames :-) Stefan
