Akamaizing the web pages.

Quite lot many times I have seen my browser is redirected to somewhere else like, http://y3124.akamai.com/mail.yahoo.com when I am loggin in yahoo. I thought that 'akamai' might be a 'hidden host or proxy' of yahoo network.

No, there is a lot to know about Akamai (Web content management service provider).

What is content management?

Lets assume, you are running your own web site which attracts high user traffic. When the visitor traffic grows drastically, your web server will become slow and probably dead. To avoid such situations, you can mirror your website in many places. But, for that, you need to have your servers installed in various locations. Since this is a most common problem, there is a hosting solution called 'content management'. That is, a portion (or whole) of your web content will be hosted on some third party servers (like Akamai), and the traffic to your server will be redirected to the nearest content management server. Hence, your visitors will not experience any bottleneck or slow response while accessing your website.

It is happening; every now and then.

   I was out of emails, discussion, technology updates for some past months. When coming back and seeing here, people have run a long way, I find hard to catch them!
   The world is getting refreshed every second. People come forward, prove and disprove things, make technology grow and divert.
  I am looking for syntax, errors and solution in some forums, which were already discussed and closed at the mid of 2003 or early 2004! See, I am 2 years after them..!

Yes, am back to www.
