Ask HN: Multiple asset hosts with s3 = impossible?

1 point

17 years ago

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.
