Maybe. Some of the things on their site tend to increase my paranoia tho: EdgeScape EdgeScape is an IP intelligence service that provides comprehensive geographic, network, and corporate identity information for IP addresses. With Akamai, government agencies reduce the risk of fraud and increase the quality of service. http://www.akamai.com/en/html/services/services.html And the fact that "akamai" isn't showing up in the weblogs at all (although it might be one of the unresolved ip's) but akamaitechnologies.com was 90% of the stuff I was seeing in tcpdump for close to a half hour. Maybe somebody doesn't like the new look on my http://www.oshkoshbygosh.org site.
