Server 2.2: AssetCache is making strange outbound connections

I'm using Little Snitch as an outbound firewall, and have noticed the AssetCache process is trying to make outbound connections to non-Apple destinations, such as www.geek.com and b.voicefive.com. This seems very suspicious... any explanations?


>> I did some nslookup/whois, and all the IP addresses are owned by either my ISP, or by Akamai CDN... sounds like it's accessing a content distribution network, not so suspicious after all. Maybe the reverse DNS zones are out of date.
