This reminds me of a DNS oops I pulled in California.  We hosted a
web site called studyabroadlinks.com.  When I set up the DNS, I
made a cname for www.studyabroadlinks.com point to studyabroad.com.
The end result?  Anyone entering www.studyabroadlinks.com in the 
browser (or following that link) was sent to their competition.  Doooh.
