Hi there.

I thought this would be a good read so i got this from WMW's post by Claus.

____________________________________________________________

Currently there's a Google update going on, but it's a bit hard to track as Google have removed the DNS entries for the datacenters. Well, i investigated a bit, here are the results published for WebmasterWorld as a worlds first:
The OLD Google Datacenter IP's

www-ab.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.51.100
www-cw.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.57.100
www-dc.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.39.100
www-ex.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.33.100
www-fi.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.41.100
www-gv.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.59.100
www-in.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.53.100
www-kr.google.com. 60 IN A 66.102.11.100
www-lm.google.com. 60 IN A 66.102.9.100
www-mc.google.com. 59 IN A 66.102.7.100
www-sj.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.35.100
www-va.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.37.100
www-zu.google.com. 60 IN A 216.239.55.100

The NEW Google Datacenter IP's

I've always found it odd that a search engine as large as Google could get by with 12 datacenters only, so the recent changes was a good reason to do a little investigation. Here are the new ones - the naming convention follows the first three octets of the old DC's:

www-zu: 216.239.55.100 DEFUNCT (2004-10-20)
new1-zu: http://216.239.55.104/

Note: The www.google.akadns.net notes where google frontends (www.google.com) have been observed recently - www2 and www3 are IP's for those DCs.

The NEW Google Directory IP's

Well, i don't really know if these are new, as i haven't investigated it before today - it was a by-product of the datacenter research, but here goes. The naming convention is the same as for the DC's:

directory-ab1: http://216.239.51.106/
directory-ab2: http://216.239.51.107/
directory-cw1: http://216.239.57.106/
directory-cw2: http://216.239.57.107/
directory-dc1: http://216.239.39.106/
directory-dc2: http://216.239.39.107/
directory-ex1: http://216.239.33.106/
directory-ex2: http://216.239.33.107/
directory-in1: http://216.239.53.106/
directory-in2: http://216.239.53.107/
directory-va1: http://216.239.37.106/
directory-va2: http://216.239.37.107/

What does this mean?
Well, if nothing else, it's probably the end of so-called "Google Dance Tools" - it's a bit hard to make a readable 60+ frames frameset ;) Some/most/all of these are no doubt front-ends used for load-balancing.

The Google Datacenter Watch Tool (http://www.mcdar.net/dance/index.php) has handled that task admirably by dividing the datacenters into groups and giving the user options.
