Hi,

We used Akamai last December and we were very happy.

The other thing you can do instead of creating new urls for your images is
use CNAME in your dns and redirect all your image requests to the Akamai
servers. There's also a nice interface to refresh specific URLs.

If your application is mostly read-only or has lots of images, Akamai will
give you a huge performance gain. On the other hand, if it has lots of
editing pages or transaction pages, you will probably not get much.

The only problem is that the solution is quite expensive.

Feel free to contact me if you have specific questions.

Subject: Using Akamai with WebObjects


Hello Everyone,

Our company is looking into ways to improve the performance of our
WebObjects app for our customers, who are mostly elementary and middle
schools across the country.  One option we're looking at is Akamai.  Has
anyone had any experience using Akamai with a WebObjects application.  Is
it possible?  How much effort did it take?  Was there substantial
performance gains?

Thanks in advance for any experience or advise you can offer.
Greg
