Thats quite a revelation. I assumed it tested from all points of

I suspect it simple does an equivalent of 'wget' of the hostname you
enter... the appengine api doesn't really permit much more than http/s

service that queries from 100k other points of light, but really... I
bet it's just doing it to the hostname you enter.
