I've been toying with the concept of Parallel Downloads, and how browsers (by default) thanks to the HTTP 1.1 standard (link w/ details (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.1.4)) will only open two simultaneous download streams from one hostname.
This can be changed in browser settings, but is default w/ IE and firefox. I was looking at possibly separating my content to different hostnames to improve loading performance.
Now here is my question. Would images.example.com and scripts.example.com count as separate hostnames?
