  Trailing dot means it is a fully qualified domain name and does not need your local DNS to append any domain names in order to resolve it. As opposed to www.apple.com which resolves to whatever your local administrator decides. If they stick "nsa.gov." in the host's resolve.conf search parameter you will be directed to www.apple.com.nsa.gov. with the dot at the end. It's part of RFC 1034. Anyone who has dealt with DNS config files knows you need the dots at the end or things misbehave :D

  The site owner is apparently quite the character, even by FOSS standards...
