that sounds indeed very weird ... my best guess here would
be that you have some kind of local nameserver, which does
resolve 'some' of your names to something wrong, and choosing
a more unusual one (like intwww) didn't resolve to anything
so all went fine ... maybe check for name resolving of www2,
and wwwint (when you get around)
anyway, names are significant up to 12 chars at least, and
if you do not use aliases even more ...
best,
