It's quite while on this but I have a comment on usage of ActionController::Base.asset_host presented here. Using rand may cause more harm than benefit. The problem is that same asset may have to be downloaded twice in above scenario because for two separate page impressions different hosts may be generated. Something needs to keep a same host name for a same asset. The solution I found which works well is using .hash method on source and leaving last two bits of resulting number (x AND 3). This gives a number 0-3 which may be used to prepare host name. It should look like this: ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source| "http://assets#{source.hash & 3}.example.com" } Havn't tested above line - written from memory.

I was trying some of this out on our project and ended up with some really weird looking URLs :

In my development.rb:

ActionController::Base.asset_host = Proc.new { |source| “http://asset#{rand(3)}.moomai.com” }

So I tried using the traditional method, thusly:

ActionController::Base.asset_host = “http://asset%d.moomai.com”

And instead got this in my views:

Nice. Something’s not right, I gather?
