It sure does.  I just had the most amazing bug report - clicking on a search
result sent the user to family.com.

The reason?  I had 
<a href="/<dtml-var "getpath(data_record_id_)">/manage_main"><dtml-var
title></a><br>

getpath returned /foods/whatever - so the browser thought //foods/whatever
means http://foods/whatever, the server http://foods doesn't exit so the
browser tries http://www.foods.com - and this gets us to family.com.
