Default Addon domain question

hi all, this is not a pre-sales question I actually signed up as a hostgator customer long time ago but I just applied for a membership here, so the other section is not availbale to me.
My question:
I just added a secondary domain to my account,and I find out that I could access my addon domain by entering three different URLs which like this:
1:www.addondomain.com
2:addondomain.maindomain.com
3:www.maindomain.com/addondomain

I think maybe the google will give me a duplicate(maybe triple) content penalty if the googlebots crawl to my website using the three different URLs.
Correct me if I am wrong, Thank you!

if you just use the addon domain normally as a full domain, that shouldn't be an issue.

however, if you're concerned about it, you can add an .htacess in your addon domain subfolder that will only allow people to connect via your perferred url. support can help you with this if you have trouble figuring it out.

And when you get access to the full forums, there are a bunch of threads on how to do it as well.
