So why isn't su.itunes.apple.com resolving to my close Akamai cluster?

also add "app updates" to the pile. not sure whether all of these are triggered by IOS 6, but a bunch of apps have failed after trying to do their downloads. the "big" Apple ones failed first, the dozen or so "little" ones are coming up on the hit parade now and they're failing one by one.
however i think the bottleneck is at the App Store end. are they using Akamai?
App store content is coming through Akamai, but the failures I'm getting seem to be coming from an akamaiedge device. (which I thought was more just a proxy through to Apple rather than CDN, don't know where the problem may be). Doing some SSL traces of what my iPhone is doing... Specificly, https://su.itunes.apple.com/ is timing out in the SSL handshake during the failures. The HTTPS connection failed out for SSL: Received close_notify during handshake The actual App content for what I upgraded came from http://a1128.phobos.apple.com/ http://a1746.phobos.apple.com/ which are Akamai CDN, which hit the MICE Akamai cluster. All the other Apple URLs seem to work just fine. Its that su.itunes.apple.com akamaiedge host that isn't keeping up with the load. -- Doug McIntyre <merlyn@iphouse.net> -- ipHouse/Goldengate/Bitstream/ProNS -- Network Engineer/Provisioning/Jack of all Trades ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1 ######################################################################## To unsubscribe from the MICE-DISCUSS list, click the following link: http://lists.iphouse.net/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=MICE-DISCUSS&A=1
