I've received a couple of responses off list, and am now in touch with
Akamai directly.
I appreciate everyone's assistance.

I'm looking for an Akamai contact to try and address a strange situation.
We have multiple sites across the country that aggregate 56k dialup
customers. Different sites are randomly experiencing inbound traffic
spikes that are overwhelming the uplinks to our carriers, causing DoS
situations. These spikes far exceed the bandwidth that could possibly
be used by the number of dialup customers connected. We've been able
to trace the source of the traffic to Akamai boxes, but so far have
been unable to reach anyone at Akamai to discuss the situation. We're
attempting to get payload information, but the traffic volume is
making it slow going setting up packet captures at these sites remotely.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
