I'm trying to get multiple asset hosts working with s3, but it looks like it isn't possible. I'm finding this hard to believe, and looking for a workaround.
The problem seems to be that you can't have multiple domains pointing to a single bucket:

Possible workarounds include:
- Uploading files to multiple buckets and pulling from them randomly
- Uploading files to different buckets and pulling from them with a hash key
- Setting a CNAME to point all alternate asset hosts at the primary one
- Using Amazon's CDN
Any other ideas? I can't imagine that someone on HN hasn't figured this out already.
