I'm very confused why you would have one virtual server as domain.com and
one as www.domain.com when users *often* mistake the two.  are you should
you just shouldn't be giving the domain.com one a machine name instead?

>This isn't uncommon, most sites do it.
Just because others seem to do it doesn't mean it's a good practice

Instead of using top, why not try parent or window?

Also, you might want to investigate your virtualhost containers (if you're
using apache).  There might be some confusion in your virtualhost containers
about what alias to use since standard virtualhost containers for www
contain both domain.com and www.domain.com as their aliases.
