I was reading a number of articles regarding paralleling requests from multiple hostnames to increase website speed (http://www.websiteoptimization.com/speed/tweak/parallel/) . However, all the sources I read do not tell me how to actually do this. What do I need? I want images to load from BOTH domain.com/images AND images1.domain.com . For example <img src="http://www.domain.com/images/monkey.jpg"> Code (markup): and <img src="http://images1.domain.com/monkey.jpg"> Code (markup): will both display monkey.jpg . The most logical thing for me was to set up a subdomain images1.domain.com, and set it to redirect to domain.com/images . Unfortunately, this does not work. Should this work? I have a fairly complex .htaccess file, but nothing should interfere with this. Of all the .htaccess examples I've seen, I can't find one that would do what I want. This seems like a very simple problem and I hope someone who knows more about regular expressions and .htaccess can help.
Anyone have any ideas? This technique is important to high traffic sites, so I know others can benefit!
I'm kind of rushed, so $5 PayPal to the first person who can answer my question or provide a link that leads to me figuring it out.
