That's how I originally noticed this behaviour.

Aha, it took me awhile but I tracked down this issue. It's actually in the caching that was recently checked in. Because of the cache, different vhosts are returning the same result, which is wrong. test.skullsecurity.org returns totally different results than www.skullsecurity.org, but the cache doesn't realize that.

I'd suggest modifying the HTTP caching to use host.targetname, if possible. Patrick, do you see any issues with that?

Thanks,
Ron
