Actually you can; lut.ac.uk is our campus domain but you can connect to
that DNS name and actually be transported to info.lut.ac.uk (aka
www.lut.ac.uk and agate.lut.ac.uk). That machine is our campus WWW
Information Gateway - by no means the only HTTP server on campus but
(supposedly) the main University presence in the Web.
Ain't the DNS wonderful, eh? :-)
