The only information which you can get about the real PageRank are from the toolbar and Google directory. Everything else is useless.

Thanks for answering doc_z, but that doesnt only not directly answers what I'm asking and I'm also pretty sure thousands of webmasters disagree with you regarding this particular tool, since it was held in the highest of regards in another SEO forum with thousands of members, like this one.

And even so, that still doesn't explains the PR divergences between DCs (they were all functioning properly. I used the same tool on google.com and it sprouted pr10 all over them)
