AFAIK, Akamai does not do "web caching", persay.  They push the content out
to servers located netwise close to major metropolitan areas (e.g., closer
to the users), so it is more content distribution than web caching.   They
do use some sort of caching engine for fast serving of content, though, so I
guess that is why this method is possible.

I could be wrong.
