akamai rate limiting?

Does anyone know if Akamai edgesuite servers rate limits or blacklists caching servers that query it too often? It appears that queries are timing out if we exceed a query load to edgesuite.

Does anyone at Akamai know if there are any changes to rate limiting or an abnormally high load?

Cameron & I have been in contact off-list, and all issues have been resolved.

More generally: Hopefully it will come as no surprise that Akamai has some rate-limiting parameters configured. The Internet is a nasty place, and every contentious provider should have protections in place.

If anyone sees any problems with Akamai name servers or anything else, noc@akamai.com is monitored 24/7 and should be able to either help directly, or get you in touch with the right people who can.
