The server is owned by Akamai Technologies, a CDN
(content distribution network). You rent space with
Akamai, and Amamai picks the Point Of Presence based on
where it thinks you will get best bandwidth and lowest latency
to your customers. Using dynamic IP, a person in Europe can
be served from a different machine, than if a person in
North America makes the same request.

The head office of Akamai in Holland is Amsterdam.
The server could be just about anywhere, even in a
country other than Holland.

Netherlands — Amsterdam
Coengebouw, Kabelweg 37
1014 BA Amsterdam
The Netherlands

https://www.akamai.com/us/en/locations.jsp

As you can see by the list, they have a large number of offices.
And, that doesn't even prove where the servers are. Those would
be business offices. No real work would be done in those offices,
only sales. The server farm in each case, will be somewhere else.

For example, Iceland is popular, because the air conditioning for
the servers is cheap.

You need a *real* geolocation utility, not some micky mouse stuff.
Real geolocation servers, free ones, did exist at one time, but
they closed, or detuned their output. Now, all you can get, is
some (irrelevant) head office.

"Akamai does not disclose the exact location of each POP,
we have been told that their network currently has
280,000 servers in more than 2200 locations and
1,200 networks over 80 countries"

No.

Yesterday, when I checked the 'Answers' site with Wikiguard, I was
advised that the server is in Amsterdam. I took a screenshot:-

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg5c307pcg...m%21.tiff?dl=0

Today, I'm told the server is in Cambridge, USA and with a different IP
address.

I've also seen this error message:-

Yesterday, when I checked the 'Answers' site with Wikiguard, I was

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dg5c307pcg...m%21.tiff?dl=0

Today, I'm told the server is in Cambridge, USA and with a different IP
address.

That's one of the benefits of DNS. For humans, it's generally easier to
remember names of resources, rather than their IP addresses, but the
Internet only uses IP addresses, so DNS maps those names to their IPs.
There's nothing saying that this has to be a 1:1 mapping, and in fact
for very many sites, it's not. A single resource name can map to any
number of IP addresses, where those IP addresses can refer to physical
servers (actually, load balancers or firewalls, almost never the actual
servers), and those destinations can be in different data centers and/or
different geographic areas. Sometimes, those different datacenters can
be across town, but they can just as easily be halfway around the world.

Not only that, but DNS can be configured to return the entire list of
IPs in a static order, the entire list in random order, or a subset of
the entire list that depends on other factors, such as the geo region
where the request came from, to give a few examples.

If I do a dig on www.answers.microsoft.com, I get the following output:

If I repeat the query, I get the same list each time, but in random
order. Then, if I do a geo lookup on each of those IPs, I get the
following:

# geoip_lookup 191.237.78.58
country_code = US
country_name = United States
region_name = Virginia
continent_code = NA

# geoip_lookup 191.235.218.166
country_code = IE
country_name = Ireland
region_name = Dublin
continent_code = EU

# geoip_lookup 104.40.191.237
country_code = NL
country_name = Netherlands
region_name = Noord-Holland
continent_code = EU

# geoip_lookup 104.43.142.34
country_code = US
country_name = United States
region_name = Iowa
continent_code = NA

# geoip_lookup 23.101.184.206
country_code = US
country_name = United States
region_name = Texas
continent_code = NA

Oh, look, they have locations in different countries. That shouldn't be
a surprise, though. That should be fully expected. It's called geo
redundancy and it's extremely common.

I've also seen this error message:-

Where are the anomalies? I don't see them.

Anyway, does that help with your stalking efforts at all?
