Is this for real? Or are they infringing on Akamai's name? See www.akamai.com for more info -- Akamai's software underlies a LOT of Web-based business. If you've ever looked up stock quotes through yahoo, you've probably seen the message "receiving from akamai.com/..." (or similar) many times.
I looked up Akamai.com's IP and got an address for "akamai-5" on our *local* host -- and yes, there's an akamai-1 through 4. So it looks like our local IS is very dependent on Akamai solutions.
An odd, even macabre connection is that one of the founders of Akamai was on one of the planes that hit the WTC.
