That is normal, Google uses AKADNS as a provider for DNS, if you try to ping www.google.com, you will return an AKADNS server. It is based on Akamai technology that is a form of decentralizing services. Or so I understood from a quick research of it and a fes DNS lookups.

Create access rule for HTTP HTTPS which will block web access to predefined URL Set containing record http://*.akadns.net <http://*.akadns.net/> or *.akadns.net Apply changes and then try to browse to not cached www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> or www.yahoo.com <http://www.yahoo.com/> And tell me if you pass through. In my test network *.akadns.net blocks www.google.com <http://www.google.com/> . If I change it to *.akadna.net its ok :-) I tested this on 2 different ISA2004 boxes.
