As we all know, Google Caffeine is launching on a single data center until after the holidays so that online retailers don't get a nasty present from Google.
As I promised then, I would let you know what data center the results went or go live on, when I hear. There are some discussions and chatter at WebmasterWorld that one data center may have Caffeine results. Google has not confirmed it, nor do all webmasters believe these are Caffeine like results.
The data center is 216.239.59.103 and you should give it a try yourself. Matt said that even if they do give out an IP address, it is possible that non-Caffeine results will show on that data center for some people. So maybe this is Caffeine and some don't see it? I am not sure - I am pretty sure Matt can confirm this IP as the data center or not - after he gets back from Las Vegas.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
Update #1: Some are saying this data center has moved to 66.102.7.18.
Update #2: Google's Matt Cutts replied to me on Twitter saying, "@rustybrick I don't think that IP points to Caffeine."

Over here at the Netherlands, these arent caffeine results. They are 100% the same for the current google SERP.

I checked both with my local server. They are all three identical for the term Myrtle Beach real estate. I don't think either one is Caffeine.

66.102... gives me the old caffeine result for the three keywords where the sandbox differed from google.com, so I think it's worth investigating. Thanks for the report!
