Question:
Is it possible to setup an akamai feed in hours once you know your website is to be swamped ?
Obviously, the system managers there might not have been warned in advance that the politicians would place a huge load on their servers. But once they realised it, is it conceivable that they quickly setup an akamai feed ? Or is that something which takes weeks to setup ?
I'm not sure about Akamai, but I believe Amazon is about to roll out CDN services as well (and I would assume they're as flexible as their other "cloud" offerings). As always, hindsight is 20/20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/html-forms-controller/aws-content-delivery-service -brandon
