Akamai does not give out the IP space they use, for good and valid =
reasons.
Also, Akamai -is- a cache (just pretend for sake of this argument that =
none of you is ridiculously overly pedantic). If you are trying to cache =
on-net, why not just ask them to do it for you? It=E2=80=99s free.

If you do not qualify for free on-net caches, and cannot peer with them =
anywhere, you could try doing a lookup on some popular Akamai customers, =
or even just www.akamai.com, then =E2=80=9Coptimize=E2=80=9D that block. =
But that might not work as well as you hope. Akamai customers want to =
see every hit, many of them put in =E2=80=98cache busting=E2=80=99 code.
Good luck.
