Except that one of the addresses he listed is in the A records that gets
returned from the authoritative DNS server, but the other one *isn't*.  If
he did both lookups from the same LAN within a few minutes of each other, I
don't think Akamai's DNS load balancing should have caused that other
address to show up.
