I know its via DNS etc, but I have had the primary source cluster change on me 3 times this year alone and it's starting to get a little bit annoying. I have once or twice before logged tickets with their NOC only to have the query lost in the void.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone had any joy speaking with Akamai in locking down which clusters they use/poll or at least selecting one that they will primarily return DNS results for? I realise the system is 'smart' and is handing out sources close to our network but the result is not ideal.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">-Ryan</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
