I was thinking of making a new algorithm for finding a home page --
to first try, at machine fred.dep.uni.edu

	http://www.dep.uni.edu/			and then
	http://www.uni.edu/			and then
	http://www.edu/				and then
	some basic home page.
	
There are quite a lot of places where this will give something
now.  Sounds alike an easy default for people who might
pick up the software and not know that there is in fact a local
server.  It will ease admin and promote more servers.

The search would be only in the DNS of couse, if they don't
exist. If one of these is found, it could also by default be
used as a site server.

Whadya think?
