Interesting!
Unfortunately, the domain the .036 resolved to was not the octal
equvilaent of .36 ( octal 36 = 44, I was getting the domain at .30, and
octal 39 = 47, but .039 did resolve to the domain at .39 ), but who knows
what evil lurks in the mind of Apache.

For sure, no leading zeros in the future!
Thanks for your time and help in these matters.
