I am also very excited to see a CDN for the smaller libraries.
The service seems to be hosted on Amazon which is great and gives me a vote of confidence in using the service. Also very cheap to pull off something like this and with community donations are very possible solution.
It's disappointing to see the propagation errors but I have personally worked with the Amazon back end and CNAME records and recall the same issues when I sent a site live. Hard to test how your site works around the globe especially when third party tools report that its working.
This is why it’s always better to get some real world testing done, rather than third-party tools. Ask people of whom you know are in various locations around the world to see how fast things are (and if they’re not working at all, that’ll become evident right away). Get data from the grindstone through other people if you can’t get it on your own (e.g. if you’re a small team in only one location).
DNS is a fickle bitch, but it’s also one that is the easiest to take care of before launch: just wait. (though if after 3 days it’s still not working, you messed it up)
