[SAC] osgeo.net dns entries

[Daniel Morissette]

I would recommend a HTTP redirect from http://www.osgeo.net/ to 
http://www.osgeo.org/ instead of an alias, this is so that osgeo.org 
remains the only authoritative domain for OSGeo sites and you don't end 
up with multiple URLs (under multiple domains) pointing to the same 
stuff... I'm no expert in search engine ranking, but I'm sure this has 
to be better somehow for our ranking in search results, etc. ... and 
that also keeps the door open for using osgeo.net or osgeo.com for other 
aspects of OSGeo someday.
