Hm, now that's interesting. When you say "home page" does that also include other directory index pages? That is, anything ending in / rather than .html?

So it's going by what the address bar says, rather than by the "real" content. In the case of your home page that's www.example.com/index.html but the last part is the result of a behind-the-scenes rewrite.

Do you have code in place to redirect requests for
www.example.com/index.html
when it's written out like that? Anything different in the browser's address bar? Same for other index.html pages, if any.
