Where can i find more information on "www6" showing up as a redirected website? Example: www6.comcast.net

Most likely the www.comcast,net doesn't actually exist as a server. It is probably pointed at a load balancer that directs you to the least busy web server.

What more do you want to know?

by rghigby

I understand this to mean that delays in a website can be due to issues with the number of servers available, simultaneous contacts to the load balancer and most importantly, not necessarily originating with my network, IE7 or workstation.

by scott_heath

That would be correct. If you can hit everything else OK, it's probably not you.
