I wonder how exactly this works. I'm guessing 1e100.net has various subdomain names that can correspond to different Google servers (i.e. Youtube.)

Edit: Apparently different subdomains correspond to different IP addresses. For example, gx-in-f191.1e100.net points to 74.125.65.191 and qw-in-f18.1e100.net points to 74.125.93.18.

As a Google employee I can answer quite honestly (albeit uselessly): it's complicated.

why didn't you pick something like 'googleserver.com'? I have been seeing all these obscurely named TCP connections on my machine in recent months and I resent the time wasted to look each one up and verify that it's a trusted provider rather than a botnet. It may seem like a cute gag, but for those of us not in on the joke it is, literally, a waste of time. Amusements like this are for consumer-facing stuff, not server identities.

gx probably means global crossing, qw probably means qwest

One of the largest webmail providers on the Internet and you're surprised it has a page worth of email-sending computers?

I just think it's neat to see scaled services from the point of view of senderbase when a RHS rDNS pattern is available.

Also, I don't recall using the /surprised/ tag in my post.

Why do Google continue to aquire IP4 adresses other than 66.0.0.0/8 they already own but do not appear to be using much at all. Do they even have legitimate purpose for assignment of 66.0.0.0/8 under ARIN justfification?
