Yes, that would work. But in terms of optimization, cdn.4dots.com is better. The reason being, we use cookies on *.mobileread.com, so for every request to a static file on static.mobileread.com, your browser would also send the *.mobileread.com cookies. That's an unnecessary overhead. Now, of course we could restrict the cookie for the forum to
www.mobileread.com, and the cookie to the wiki to wiki.mobileread.com, and so on, but our plan is still to integrate the two, so it makes sense to keep the cookie "global".
