The Internet issues related to the website that used “akamai” distributed content. One or more of the UH-hosted Akamai content servers were having operational problems. Akamai monitors for this issue and redirects to non-UH Akamai sites when this occurs through use of alternative DNS resolution. But the clients that  encounter problems before the Akamai alterative DNS entry, they continue to “cache” the Akamai DNS entry locally and continue to try to resolve to the UH-hosted Akamai server. Until that client’s DNS cache is reset (like a reboot), it will continue to have issues with Akamai sites (like www.apple.com for example).
