Yes you are. www.att.com and att.com are two different servers. Or at least
I'd say that the chances are very likely that they are as they have quite
different IP addresses www.att.com has one and att.com has two and they (the
addresses) are owned by different organizations.

Thus you're sending a "Host: att.com" header to the www.att.com server even
thought that doesn't serve the 'att.com' site!

I'd say that counts as "ticking the server".

It reloads www.att.com with the Host: header set to att.com?
