An order has been placed for a server in the EU.  It will probably be ready to go live on Thursday.  The DNS will load balance between the two, but I will post special URLs that pool members can use to manually connect to the server closer to them if they wish.

There may be one more server coming online by next weekend based in the east coast to give us a fairly wide spread geographically (US West, US East, EU).

Absolutely amazing!  How long ago was this just an idea?  You wrote the original site [beta?] in a week, correct?  Went live and scaled to be one of the largest pools available in a very short period of time and have been more adaptable, creative and reactive than any other pool operator except perhaps Tycho [meaning you have accomplished these feats at least as well as Tycho which says a lot for both of you, but especially you due to the speed and agility with which you have managed this]. 

Thanks for the ego boost, I needed it after this long weekend.  Yes, from the time I downloaded pushpool to the time I brought the pool public with the full frontend was about a week.  The pool will have been open for one month on June 9th, which is the same day I expect the second server will come online.  A third server is being added on the US east coast at roughly the same time, so I have 3 days of setting up the code to link multiple servers together so they're all working on the same round.
