I knew they did some sort of caching. My concern is that there may be something errantly installed on the workstation that I cannot locate. Out of 247 Views, 45 of them are to websites while the remaining 202 are to the AKAMAI server. So it seems like there is some sort of application that is hammering that specific server. Still trying to glean more knowledge on this.
