Hi,
I wonder if GAE is distributed to several datacenters or not. I found
no official information on this topic but several personal tests show
that it is indeed deployed to several geographic locations and the
closest one is chosen to server the request.
Tests from several locations (decix in germany, japan, china and us
(peer1 network) show really confusing results. Measurings are done
"against" ghs.google.com and .appspot.com.
Here the mtr's to ghs.google.com
>From peer1 network (us): 170msec (urghs !!)

Can anyone explain this strange behavior?
* IS GAE geographically distributed or not?
* Or just static content via a CDN?
* Why is US so slow?
* Why the major differences between ghs and appspot?
Please Google, it would be nice to get an official statement :)
