When I started a traceroute just a moment ago, whitehouse.gov resolved to 96.17.202.135, assigned to Akamai out of Cambridge, Mass. The actual host at the IP looked like it was hanging off a network located in Ashburn, Va. (one of the major Eastern U.S. data centers).

I was wondering that too.

But I think his primary residence is in NY.

If you're using http://en.utrace.de to access it, it's probably going to hit a copy cached in Germany. FWIW, I'm in the US and for me whitehouse.gov resolves to a completely different IP address.

Interestingtha White House Gov is offshore. My bet is so that the FBI and the CIA are prevebted from hacking the White House Gov site. Typical fascist maneuverinng.

There is some stuff on that site that Obama does not want the other federal agencies to have access to.

MAYBE THE KEY IS IN GERMANY.

Outsourcing, silly!

No, really... he probably just needed access because he needed to post another picture that had “hero” in the properties.

If you go to the German site, and type in ‘Freerepublic.com’, it resolves to Englewood, Colorado.

I thought it was based out of Fresno, CA, but at least it doesn’t point to some gateway portal in Germany.
