akamai.net does web caching. They host large ammounts of content around the world and depending on your locale, they will send you to a closer server and hypothetically provide better response times. I know Disney uses them on some of their sites, also. Here's some info: http://www.akamai.com/html/en/sv/object_delivery.html - --<snipet>-- How It Works: FreeFlow leverages the Akamai platform to deliver content from servers geographically close to end-users. Utilizing sophisticated algorithms developed by M.I.T. researchers, the Akamai Platform continuously monitor Internet conditions and determine the best delivery route and optimal "edge server" for each Web site request. FreeFlow implementation is simple and unobtrusive. You don't need additional hardware or time-intensive integration. Akamai's user-friendly software utility, FreeFlow AkamaizerSM, automatically tags specified content for delivery from the Akamai network. When Akamaized Web site is requested, the origin site serves the HTML Web page while FreeFlow delivers objects within the page from an Akamai server. This greatly reduces your Web site visitor's wait time, as pages load up to ten times faster while reducing the load on your home site. - -----Original Message----- From: George [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 08, 2001 1:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]%inter2 Subject: Spoofed Norton Update URL?
