Akamai UPDATE: I've put this here because of the geek stuff below
LGF has an interesting take on the organisation

=====

Akamai is The Business Internet powering on demand computing solutions for e-business.

By coincidence they are also the people who host www.johnkerry.com, the official website of, um, John Kerry.

At the time of writing they also appear to be hosting www.georgewbush.com. But they don't.

For details of the hosting differences (geeks only) try here

oh - and here's the tracert info

Two slightly different endings - but it would appear we have evidence of a DNS hack that has propogated in the UK - anyone else seen this?   ¶ Monday, October 25, 2004
