A question for the fine folks at GarageGames

Ok, we are ready to begin our "pre"Alpha test of our product. Although our ISP is not blocking our ports, we are having a hell of a time getting anything to broadcast out to the internet. Though I would love to ask about that, however I am more than aware their volume of info on this buried in the forums and resources. So my question for GG is this, I recall reading somewhere that the GG master servers where for testing only (obviously), would it be acceptable to borrow some of the GG master servers cycles to begin our test? We only plan to allow our staff, about 5, and our 25 play testers to access our servers, and thus the GG master servers.

    I just bought a master server from Kerry Enfinger http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/21145

    This runs very well. The problem of the GG master server is, some time the server is down. Bad if you organize a test meeting with ppl, and the server is down. This was happens to me. But lucky to find this nice server, made by Kerry Enfinger.

    The php master server at www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/14857 works well albeit without all the features of Kerry's server. I have tried to run the server using a homedns.org url without much success (ok, any success) however it works great on a web server. Honestly I don't really know why as my ISP says they don't block. Currently I'm using an amazon EC2 cloud server which is working great.
