www.domain.com domain.com problem

I have one of several sites on my server. When you type www.domain.com you are sent to the site... no problem...

If you type domain.com in all the other sites it works fine. But the one domain does not come up in internet explorer. It does work in firefox though.

Has anyone ran into this problem before?

as much as I would like to tell everyone on the internet to stop using internet destroyer I do think I should try to get this solved.

I checked my virtualhost in my httpd.config file and didnt see any problems.

I should note that I just get sent to the new windows live beta when I try to find the site... probably because I am using IE7...

My boss says that when he typed in domain.com his browser displayed [/?%20domain.com...]

I have looked and dont see where the space could have been added. Especially since it only affects the one domain on the server.

Thanks

This looks like a redirect gone bad, possibly in a script. I say that because you have to 'work very hard' to get a space into a server-level redirect.

Use the Firefox Live HTTP Headers extension to view a request for the problematic domain; It will show all HTTP headers and redirects. That may show you where the problem lies, or at least eliminate some of the possibilities.

Remember to flush your browser cache (and IE's Temporary Internet Files) before testing if you make any change to the server configuration. Otherwise, you may see stale cached pages, and the request won't be sent to your server. And in that case, no server-side code can have any effect on the transaction.
