If you host your own nameserver, you could easily automate this.

This is fascinating. I've already gotten a single Upload Bucket and created a CNAME alias to point to it, for the specific static stuff that I want to serve. I'm thinking of creating a Mirror Bucket for the dynamic-CDN, but I have a lot of directories that have dynamic content in them:

/gallery/files <-- all of my user uploaded galleries
/forums/customavatars <-- custom avatars
/forums/customprofilepics <-- custom profilepics
/forums/signaturepics <-- custom signaturepics
/forums/thumbs <-- generated thumbnails
/forums/albums <-- uploaded albums
/links/banners <-- uploaded banner images
/forums/images <-- all of my other static forum images

What do you think the best way to create a dynamic-CDN "Mirror Bucket" for these would be? Should I change my hierarchies? So far, SimpleCDN is working like a charm.
