Let me preface this by saying that I'm not sure if this is can really
be classified as a bug.  Thusly I'm not sure if -bugs is the right
place.  Furthermore, I've also seen this particular bug in Handbook
pages and was thinking I should send this to -doc as well?  Please let
me know how to procede.

I've found a "bug" with the addresses used in the href links on the
website.  It's hard to explain so I'll just use an example.

Link with the bug:

href="http://www.freebsd.org/foo.html"

Link without the bug:

href="foo.html"

The problem arises when I'm using one of the alternate servers (e.g. 
www3.freebsd.org).  When you click on a non-buggy link, you get a page 
served from the chosen alternate server.  When you click a link with 
the bug, the browser tries to contact the primary server which is 
probably unavailable/busy at the time because, if it weren't, I 
wouldn't be using an alternate server.

An example of a page with this bug is /support.html.  The link to the
Chinese FAQ (under WEB Resources) does not have the bug.  The links
for the send-pr web frontend (under GNATS Problem Report Database) do
have the bug.
