We actually use the same Apache instances to do that for a couple different apps (using VHosts), and will be moving the rest of our apps (there are 4-5 more) over to that setup in the coming weeks. Geoff,

I was just wondering if you're running mod_rewrite upstream of your web servers using this solution? Currently I'm running isapi rewrite on a windows server, and have been considering a load balanced solution. Offloading the rewriting would be nice - especially as we have a large chunk of 301 redirects; no need for our webservers to ever see these requests...

We're attempting to move to Limelight. We moved our Flash Media stuff over already, but the web stuff is taking them forever, so not sure when we'll actually get it. So we'll be running sans CDN for at least a few days.
