ping -f address.com

Why could I ping things with out the www but not with the www?
The example I was given was 'ping -f sco.com'. The first thing I did wron=
g was misspelled sco.com as scco.com and it pinged away. Then I added the=
www and it wouldn't ping. I then pulled up the page with the www and the=
re it was. So then what.... was there a redirection from the one w/o the =
www to the one with? What is the unix trace route command?

www is just a subdomain of a domain. www.site.com and site.com can have
completely different addresses.
