This is a design issue (or not, up to the guy designing it I guess) with the existing "Old SN Beta" site as well right now, which you can see at http://www.squeezenetwork.com:3000 if you sign up for a new account there. I'd like to try to keep bug reports about broken things on the new beta to issues that are unique to the new rack if at all possible. Our main focus right now is that they don't regress substantially from the existing beta setup. > > I was able to enter my Pandora and Slacker account information, but > then I found myself suddenly back at the Activation screen. > > Re-clicking on the activation URL in the mail message led me to the > screen below.

In the last case I re-sent the activation email from the admin control panel and it went through the second time. Jury's still out on exactly what's going on here... > Also, though I'm in North Carolina I'm connecting to "sv" rather than > "dc". The balancing is by its nature only approximate. This is the quick version of the technical rundown: You get directed to a given datacenter at the DNS level, so the only information we have at that moment is the IP address your DNS query came from. This likely isn't your IP at your house (unless you run a caching nameserver of your own that doesn't slave to your ISP), but rather at your ISP somewhere, possibly in a neighboring state, etc. We resolve that to the country level (or state/province level for US/Canada), take the geographic center of that locality, and then sort the datacenters by geographic distance from that point. Of course it's also possible that your DNS query really is originating in NC as well, and that the database of IP->Region mappings we're buying has an inaccuracy. I'll be adding some functionality to the geodns tool soon to help us better diagnose this with customers. In the meantime, I wouldn't worry too much if you seem to be connecting to the "wrong coast" in the US. Both sites are very well-peered to the major US backbones and get really good latency coast to coast. -- blblack ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blblack's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11129 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42686 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
