Good one !

In the same spirit, you can have img1.domain.net and
img2.domain.net, but as aliases to img.domain.net, as it'll
let browsers get images in parallel and thus speed up overall
page loading if you have many images (browsers limit themselves
to 2 parallel connections to the same host) ... I seem to
remember the sweet spot was 2 to 3 different hostnames, not
more...

Can't find the study I got that from though - maybe it's in there
somewhere :

But I'm offing the topic :p
