You are correct that the URL:

http://www.lm.com/~nab

is actually an alias for the URL:

http://ivory.lm.com:80/~nab/

Aliases are frequently used for WWW sites. They allow the Internet
provider to change the actual computer on which the WWW server resides
without making everyone change their links to the WWW pages on that
server.

In other words, both URLs listed above for Neurosciences on the Internet
will work, but the URL:

http://www.lm.com/~nab

is the "official" address of the page.
