Comment (by dcf):

 There's an undocumented /debug URL path that shows the currently connected
 snowflakes.
   https://snowflake-reg.appspot.com/debug (App Engine broker that we plan
 to move away from)
   https://snowflake-broker.bamsoftware.com/debug (standalone broker from
 #22874)
 I'm not sure it's a good idea to publish this information in this form,
 but for what it's worth, that's how it works now.

 There should be at least 3 snowflakes on each broker at all times, because
 we're specifically running some fallback proxy-go instances. Obviously
 these are no good from a circumvention point of view, because they're on a
 static IP address--they're mainly there so that curious people who try the
 snowflake option in the alpha browser aren't immediately discouraged.
