Actually, you just proved the whole obviousness point. The Federal Circuit Court, which sits in DC and hears all appeals of patent cases, ruled in 2003 in the Akamai v. Digital Island appeal that Claim 1 was obvious and they invalidated that claim and some others. Akamai has tried to hide this from people for years.
So much for Akamai's b.s. about how they invented the Internet, huh?
