I doubt that. Akami runs a CDN. It's likely something built into Ubuntu.

But if you want to block it, just put this in your hosts file:

    127.0.0.1        a23-57-235-27.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

That seems unlikely to me, why would Akamai be 'tracking you' and how?

That indicates that this is related to OCSP.
