Browsers will only make a limited number of HTTP connections to a
specific host. By using multiple hostnames, you increase the number of
concurrent connections a browser will make. It is also useful to
seperate static content from dynamic content because dynamic content
servers typically are heavy weight (Apache w/mod_perl or mod_php)
compared to static content servers (lighttpd, nginx, etc).
