The multiple sub-domain/hosts trick is to get a browser to open multiple connections to the target site - but it only works if the IP addresses are different AFAIK.

I'm not sure that multiple hosts will improve the performance of the server itself it's designed to be multi-threaded. > So any best practice for this you all would recommend?
