Is there an advantage of this over a connection directly to Akamai? Seems like DNS is used to determine what server to use: dig @provider's_dns_server a1.d.akamai.net The bigger providers seem to resolve too an IP right on there network. Several others seem to just have a connection right to Akamai. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
