It's just the luck of the A record.

It's bad, please don't do it.  If we decide to move the web pages to a
different host but leave services like `finger @freebsd.org' to work
as expected, we will expect people to be following the www.freebsd.org
pointer and your stuff will break.

And yes, this could happen pretty much anytime. :-)
