I could not get error. There was a server shut down yesterday because of a 
power fail for some minutes so maybe restart it didnt work

Here some facts for decision making:

- since puredata.org points to our server but we dont host the DNS, also with 
pure-data.ino, we are not as flexible as with the puredata.info in case we 
have to switch servers or do other services  on th domain with different 
servers.

- Owners:
 puredata.org: A.A.J. van de Ven
 pure-data.info: Hans-Christoph Steiner

 puredata.info is ownd by iem
 pure-data.iem.at only a fall back domain owned by iem

 - sometimes  I want to use  the site as Manager and/or Member and/or 
anonymous at the same time for testing, then I just use the different 
domainnames, which

- since we configured the Server with VirtualHostMonster everyone can map his 
domainname on that server and it will be used in relative links, with 
rewriting even to portions of the site. so different domainames should never 
fail if they resolve the right way, so all of them are equal handled in zope.

I just thougt pure-data.info and puredata.info should be the same, but 
puredata.org was not expected to point to the site since van de Ven was so 
kind to check the domain for us., so we dont do rewriting.

But since nobody want to to some skin switching with domains we can do this.
 then all links will bookmark over puredata.org, but if anybody... 

So I am open to anything except pure-data.iem.at should stay for debugging 
reasons.
