Stu, that's what I was using yesterday (or 2 nights ago?) for checking your domain PRs

That live PR link runs a tool built by one of Jim W's friends and it does a RK lookup on various DC's, including 3 main BD. Jim W suspects that RK might be Google's internal PR. A few will say it's voodoo of course but its interesting nonetheless. Even randish has picked it up, and posted about it on digitalpoint. Personally, I would not call it a gimmick. It is flawed; it doesn't send the site:xxx.com query to Google from what I've read; someone else wrote an ajax code I can run off my desktop, which is what I play with.
