This is just odd.
The 64.* DC's return about 300 pages from my site.
The 216.* DC's return about 46,000 pages from my site.
And the 66.* return 69,000 pages from my site.
Currently I have about 65,000 pages.
If I go to google.co.uk I get 46,000 pages. If I go to google.com from my US based server I get the same 46,000 results.
It is all very odd and confusing.

I agree with you ... the time that DayoUK & I spent discussing the term 'Orthogonal' was probably a waste of our energy ;-)
All the Best

Good morning Folks
Quick post after the second Cappuccino this morning...
Never underestimate any DC... if you are a good Google Datacenter Watcher :-)
These DCs are acting "strange" and show few changes on top 10 sites within the sector I watch
[66.102.9.99...]
[66.102.9.104...]
[66.102.11.99...]
[66.102.11.104...]
Thoughts?
Since Jagger, my site's home page fell on my primary search terms from position 3 to 22 and now hovers around 8, while BD shows it at 11.
My point is that sites like mine where the home page does not show at position 1 for a site search, seem to be the sites most affected by Jagger and BD, and until google can get their system to correctly recognize the default index page as the main gateway to a site, we will continue to be plagued by bad results.
And I don't believe MC and google when they say that the position of a home page on site search doesn't affect its position in the serps.
In my field, there is only one site which deserves to be in a position better than mine - that leaves 9 trashy, pathetic sites usurping my rightful place at position 2 or 3. When my home page shows at #1 on a site command search, I guarantee I will see it back at position #3 and that will indicate that google has finally fixed the canonical problem.
Looks to me like these 'strange' results are older results, or at least they have a very similar pattern to those about 2 months ago. I have also seen some movment in the top 30 SERPs overnight on eth keywords I watch on the three DC identified by MC as now 'live'.
I pretty much agree with what you are saying...
However, I have seen sites which have a canonical problem then show the homepage at number 1 but rankings have not improved.
So it may be the start of a fix - but rankings dont just snap back into position - might depend on how long the problem has been in place though.

Whoohoo - someone understands and agrees with me :)
That theory is the only hope that I have that Google can sort this problem out at the moment. If not then BD seems to have achieved very very little.
[66.102.11.99...]
[66.102.11.104...]
those are not BD DC's
BD at the moment is here
64.233.171.104
64.233.179.104
64.233.185.104
66.249.93.104
according mcdar tool I see at the moment 18 DC's with BD on.
Agreed, according to McDar the following are Big Daddy:
64.233.171.99
64.233.171.104
64.233.171.105
64.233.171.147
64.233.179.99
64.233.179.104
64.233.185.99
64.233.185.104
216.239.57.98
216.239.57.99
216.239.57.105
66.102.7.99
66.102.7.104
216.239.57.104
216.239.57.147
216.239.57.98
216.239.51.99
216.239.51.104
Thats 18 sites and 8 "C" Blocks.
Its worth pointing out that Big Daddy is "Intermittent" on some of these sites as revolving with default results.
Definately spreading though, maybe faster than predicted by MC...
