It is NOT based on Akamai. They use Digital Island Footprint, not Akamai. Sometimes it might be handled by akamai, but definately not always. aj On Wed, 13 Oct 2004, Craig Whitmore wrote:

Anyone from Microsoft/Akamai comment/can find out WHY its switching around all the time (with us it changes every 20-30 mins.. NZ..Australia.. US.. Australia....) Instead of just going to the Akamai Servers in NZ

Hi Folks,
Wondering if anyone can explain the magic behind which Windows Update Server a client will connect to. This is somewhat relevant to NZNOG in that I've noticed that our updates are sometimes coming from Australia and would like to keep everyone's traffic in the neighborhood.
Cheers,
Jon
