>From what you've written, it sounds to me as if the issue is where the Akamai host thinks you are. If so, then DNS and bind are totally uninvolved.
Geo-location is normally done using IP addresses. You can change your IP address by using a proxy, in which case Akamai will understand you to be where the proxy is. Depending on the level of Akamai's pickiness, you might want configure the proxy not to report who or where it's asking on behalf of.
