Security Incidents: Strange pings from akamai?

[Jeff Kell <jeff-kell () utc edu>]

Out of the wild blue, I logged some unexpected pings:

209.92.223.82:0(209-92-223-82.deploy.akamaitechnologies.com) ICMP Ping

Now I know they do lots of click-thru and banner ads, but is Akamai now
starting to keep tabs on our online time?  or something more sinister?

This was logged on my home computer firewall, I wasn't even here.  I
don't bother with logging pings at the office so I don't know if this 
is widespread or I just happened to be singled out for some reason.

Anyone else seen this?

Jeff
