Host Header Question

We have a site running on IIS, we'll call it www.xyz.com. I added a host
header name, called www.efg.com, so that browsing to either xyz.com or
efg.com will provide the same content.

However, if I browse to efg.com, the URL in the address bar will default
back to xyz.com.

I've never seen this before, and normally the URL will keep the server name
that you type in.

Thoughts?
Thanks!

How many admins 'managing' this server? Sounds like domain #2 is
configured to return http 301 to the UA. Could be 301 or maybe the
redirect is managed by server side script.

A few admins, and the thought of an ASP redirect did cross my mind.

I'll look further. Thanks!
