Are there any good recommendations for CDN’s (Content Delivery Networks)  
for use with Rails? I was looking at Amazon Cloudfront but am just  
curious if anyone has used CDNs with rails and whether or not you find a  
particular one more useful than the other.

Many thanks.

They should all be pretty much the same, requiring only certain URL  
prefixes for your content. You may have to randomize hostnames if you  
go with one that allocates blocks of nodes, but that’s about it.
