What sort of content are you serving? Will it only be web traffic, or files as well? Akamai has a way of caching segments of your pages which you declare with tags. For all other content it will pass the request to your page, then slap together your response and the cached segments, and return to the user. I believe this is called ESI if I remember correctly. Utilizing ESI your domain must point to Akamai and Akamai requests from you via a new domain such as origin.mysite.com. In my experience caching has worked well for some cases, personalized content not being one of them. Caching personalized content can exponentially grow your memory demands. I would recommend output caching controls when possible, and object caching as a second option, both for non-personalized content (unless you have a large distributed caching layer). Control Output caching has shown to outperform object caching in our implementations, although there is place for both methods.

I'm faced with handling some very large peak traffic on a site and I'm looking into using some CDNs such as Akamai to provide the extra bandwidth and responsiveness. I haven't found a lot online about dealing with the convergence of caching and ssl/aspx pages. My aspx pages nearly all have some sort of personalization and dynamic content on them. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have some ideas, but would love to hear from someone who's been here before.
