I have a site.and I also have a favicon properly created and correctly installed in the root dir.Infact whenever i bookmark a page of my site from say www2.mydomain.com the favicon comes. it is the 2nd server which I use to upload my files first and then to the other servers which the users can access. but the other servers r not showing any favicon though they r properly installed at the root diectory of each server.the same file which is in the 2nd server.can any body solve this problem?

There is a maze of oddity when it comes to favicon and various user agents. I was able to solve most of them by not allow the default browser behavior but installing the line in the head section that points the browser to the exact location for favicon.ico.

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="[exact path to favicon.ico]">

There certainly may be a server side answer here as well for you. I just got tired of spending time on this backwater issue, and since adding the line to my HTML seemed to work, I added it and moved on.
