Note that *all* of the following resolve to 64.49.254.81:

    cliki.net
    www.cliki.net
    stargreen.com
    www.stargreen.com
    metacircles.com
    www.metacircles.com    [well, is a CNAME for web.metacircles.com]
    web.metacircles.com
    eval.metacircles.com

The last of these is the name returned by a reverse lookup on the
IP address.

When used as virtual server host names (HTTP/1.1 "Host:" header),
some of these quickly re-direct to "www.stargreen.com:80", while
some [the ones of interest to us!] just hang for a long, long time
and then finally serve up a zero-length response [not even headers!].

Curiouser & curiouser...
