That URL is based off your "UUID" which is generated unique to smolt.
It's found in either /etc/smolt for most distros, or
/etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid.  if you copy this file around, then of course,
it's going to look like you're using the same machine.  UUID
management in the client needs a bit of work, but if you're looking
for a new UUID in a hurry, in our mercurial repository, there's an
install script for generating UUIDs.  Fetch it, make sure the source
puts the UUID where it should go for your distro, (the script is in
python, nothing terribly difficult), and run it.

Feel free to post back if you have trouble with this, and I'll type up
a longer step by step explanation.
