The servers are giving me different times on their clocks, so my guess is that the actual site is hosted on the 2nd server, and in UK as per IP address.
www.phorm.com and webwise.bt.com are giving me clock times which suggest they are on the same server. |
If they had any clue about administering a web server* they would have them all synchronised using ntp. The error should be too small for you to detect remotely.
If the time reported by two sites is consistently a few seconds or more out you can safely assume they are separate servers. (Unless it's due to some funky proxying)
If the time reported by two sites is generally the same to within a second, it may or may not be the same server. It could be two servers both synchronised to the same ntp network or time scale.
*I know this is a big assumption.
