Thanks for the info, thats very informative. Can you recommend any CDNs that work well with online video? It would be great to find one that is as easy to configure as cloudfront that doesn't have this issue.
I'm not a big fan of Akamai's control panel -- setting up new distributions is way to complicated (albeit more flexible), and configuration changes were taking almost a day to propogate.
I haven't had the time to find another vendor, thus can't recommend one.
Amazon promised a fix, but then back tracked. Their explanation was something along the lines of "an old version of Squid has the same problem, thus it is okay". I cannot comprehend the logic system they employ to think that is a good reason to live with the bug.
