    What is www2. and www3. when used as addresses for websites? I noticed some do www2. a lot. Why is this and what does it do?

    I can't find anything about it.

    I see Google does it too, check out this thread on Webmaster-Talk.

    I'm so confused.

    Those are multiple servers running the same site.
