Valdis, You agree that the CDN content is temporary, no? That is the definition of processes used by an ISP providing pure transport services. -mel via cell

The customer provides the content on its own servers. The CDN simply redistributes the content via temporary caching. It’s not a web hosting provider. The CDN _customer_ hosts the content.That's an... interesting.. interpretation. Most people would see it as the CDN doing the hosting, and the customer *providing* the content to be hosted. Do you also believe that your outbox is hosting the e-mail I'm replying to, and all the MTAs that got involved are just temporary caching? Or did you provide a copy of the mail, and request that the MTAs distribute it? (Also, if the CDN isn't a web hosting provider, why is it able to serve up data on an http connection? Hint - at one time, almost the entire web was static content, and even today a lot of it is file data not javascript and css. ;)
