deploy.akamaitechnologies.net hacker??

[Rickoshay]

Hi to the group,
When using netstat -a in the command prompt I often see a line with the
following details:
203-59-140-12.deploy.akamaitechnologies.net:https CLOSE_WAIT.

I have Kerio personal firewall running and still this gets through.
Q.1: Is this a hack? Q.2: Has anyone else seen this?
I have done a Google search and found several posts from other NG's but no
real answers.

TIA,

RickO'Shay.
