These are the IPs google uses to crawl my site. Out of these, 90% of the requests are from the first IP, about 6% from the second one and the remaining, mostly from the third one.

The first two ping at 100 ms from my server in India. The rest seem to be in the US (ping 240 ms).
Just out of curiosity, is it possible to know wherethese servers are located? MTR/traceroute etc don't help much because the traffic is handed over to Google within a few hops when the ping times are in single digit milliseconds, and the rest of the routing is done by Google's network.
When I try tools like iplocation.net, all these servers are shown as being in the US, which's pretty impossible given the ping times.
Anyway to know this? Or do I have to ping these servers from all across the world and try to manually triangulate their locations?
