Doesn't Google use "go" internally? Is it special cased like localhost?

- zamadatix 2y agoUnofficial TLDs work fine without being special cased (well, so long as the browser is being pointed at the appropriate DNS server which knows about these entries), it's when the TLD itself is used as a URL you have to enter "http://tld http://tld." instead of just typing "tld." but any sub like "example.tld." still works automatically.
- marksomnian 2y agoI believe http://go http://go isn’t special cased, but instead (ab)uses DNS search domains - the server is actually something like go.corp.google.com, and all Google PCs are configured to use corp.google.com as a search domain
- Animats 2y agoThat's normal DNS behavior. If your machine is foo15241.corp.google.com, and you ask DNS for "go", you are supposed to get "go.corp.google.com".
