Re: Akamai servers Suggest you read this:
»www.mynetwatchman.com/scanguide.htm
From what I hear these servers can generate TCP activity quite some time AFTER you surf to a site with Akamai hosted content...this is what freaks out the firewall.
I *have* detected and reported compromised Akamai servers, but they have been few and far between.
If you really want to prove out what's going on (and Im' interested too), you'll need to setup a packet analyzer.

| Thanks,
I understand firewalls very well. One thing that bothers me about all this is, many of the server ip's are not listed as Akamai. I see the connection in the NAT table and then the firewall drops packets to ip after ip for 5 or 6 min, as many as 10 different ones. As the abovenet response stated, there are thousands of servers out there. It is interesting at this point, not really a complaint, just rather a what is going on in my PC. |
