Does anyone know how the server locations listed at wowwiki were determined?

and also is there a way that we can confirm Eldre'thalas US is in fact in Los Angeles and not at another Data Center? A guild member recently tried testing this with our realm and came to the conclusion that Eldre'thalas is more likely in Texas. Here is why:
In E'T:
tcp4 0 0 10.0.1.37.49160 12.129.206.130.bnetgam ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 10.0.1.37.49161 12.129.233.62.battlene ESTABLISHED
ARIN registry for those:
http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=!%20NET-12-129-206-0-1 (First IP)
http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=!%20NET-12-129-232-0-1 (Second IP)
In Doomhammer:
tcp4 0 0 10.0.1.37.49210 206.17.111.189.battlen ESTABLISHED
tcp4 0 0 10.0.1.37.49160 12.129.206.130.bnetgam ESTABLISHED
ARIN registry for those:
First is the same as above.
http://ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=!%20NET-206-17-110-0-1
One connection appears to be common, so that's probably not the actual game server (probably authentication)
