EC2 Or Not?

I have a secret technique for figuring out if a site is hosted on EC2 or not -- I do a PTR lookup on the IP address of the site and see if it's at Amazon. I wrote a perl script to speed the process up yesterday. I showed it to my colleagues, and one of them jokingly suggested I register ec2ornot.com. It was available, so I registered it.

This morning I turned my perl script into a cgi script and EC2 Or Not was born. You can now easily check to see if a site is running on EC2 or not. Well, at least the front end servers.

Don't mind the awesome graphics and layout. I've never been visually oriented.

By the way, my server is also an EC2!
