If you goto http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_ip and enter your source IP address, maxmind returns HK. When I built the static map I only used IP addresses in CN. GSLB is dynamic, however, and will calculate which datacenter is closest. I'm not sure what that means for HK. You could check - try to traceroute to www.mozillaonline.com (or try to ping that address). If you get 59.151.50.0/24 you're in China, 63.245.209.0/24 is in San Jose (63.245.213.0/24 is in Amsterdam but mozillaonline.com isn't being hosted out of there).

We are 'One Country, Two Systems' but from a network perspective I'd rather get my updates from San Jose than from behind the Great Firewall BTW, Your comment fields are not intutive. There are only graphic labels next to the text boxes and it's not apparent at first glance what goes where Hi, Just wanted to check whether you are considering Hong Kong as part of China.
