In the "IP address" window, put:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  (note the "dots")

In the "Host Name" window, put:

axxx-xxx-xxx-xxx  (note the "dashes")

and in the "Domain Name" window, put:

deploy.akamaitechnology.com

That's all it takes <smile>.  (the "host" is always the leftmost part of
the complete domain name, up to the first "dot".  The "domain name" is
always the rest.)
