Amazon CDN

Check the socket connect times to the node and see if they look reasonably fast (subtract 50ms if you are using the typical 1.5Mbps ADSL profile). It should be pretty easy to tell if it is going all the way back to Seattle.

In the next month or so I plan on adding traceroute diagnostics from the testers as well which would help in diagnosing CDN issues as well.
