A good solution may be to use something like panther express...

http://www.pantherexpress.net/s3/

It works like this:

- you save to s3 and configure cnames for it - you configure cnames for panther , which point to s3 - your website points to panther's cnames, not s3s

panther handles your requests by pulling stuff from s3 when needed , and migrating stuff around their global CDN network as needed

pros: - a real CDN - you only pay for xfer (not storage) - the xfer , last i checked, was quite a bit cheaper than s3 - for most files, you'll pay from s3->panther 1x, and then panther-

consumer 10x

cons: - for some fies, you may have a 1:1 ration on s3->panther : panther-

consumer

its not an open source solution - its a product, but its really solid and gives you the power of a real CDN on top of Amazon.
