Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the fact that '.' is the 
top-level domain and that only domain names ending with a '.' are in 
fact FQDNs.

"www.fibrespeed.net." is the FQDN of our webserver, for example; if you 
typed that in, you'd get our website.
"www.fibrespeed.net" is the same name, but since it lacks the trailing 
'.', your resolver is free to try things like 
"www.fibrespeed.net.hylafax.org" or the now-infamous 
"www.fibrespeed.net.com" type queries.
