Actually, "ideal" would be redirecting www to the non-www domain, much like slashback.org or dmiessler.com.

Accepting both non-www and www, much like google (or google with www) does is acceptable, but not ideal.

Oh, and Jon Robinson, be careful what you use when testing domains. Firefox will put in the www automagically if it doesn't get a reply at the non-www domain.

I wonder if it would be different amont technology vendors?

Here are some I tested:

Secure Computing, Symantec, IBM, Microsoft, Ubuntu, Juniper, F5 redirect to www

Blue Coat, Checkpoint, McAfee, RSA, accepted the request.

Couldn't find one that didn't accept the non-WWW request.
