Details

When accessing a URL that is sharing an IP address with another (eg mandera.africaonline.co.ke and www.kenyare.co.ke), 'Gecko' does not report the host header properly to the Web Server. This is true in the case of Apache/1.2.6 on Red Hat Linux where www.bootybarn.com (IP 209.132.86.33) takes you to domains.porndirectory.com (IP 209.132.86.33). This does not happen for IIS4 / NT 4

It seems to be consistently correct when I tested it. I am marking it worksforme and will let glynn verify the same.
Changing all Networking Library/Browser bugs to Networking-Core component for Browser. Occasionally, Bugzilla will burp and cause Verified bugs to reopen when I do this in a bulk change. If this happens, I will fix. ;-)

Bulk move of all Networking-Core (to be deleted component) bugs to new Networking component.
