Yes, that is right. If you don't already have a SimpleCDN "Mirror Bucket" you will have to wait. They have grown too fast and also are having trouble serving content in the EU.
Because we are a long time customer, they offered us a free three month trial of their new "Hot Cache" service, which serves correctly in both the US and the EU, so far.
Also, we have moved to using Apache2 mod_rewrite in combination with vB RRs to get content from the CDN. After working with this for quite some time, I have found the following:
- Use a CNAME in your DNS so you can easily switch CDN providers.
- Use Apache2 mod_rewrite to direct content (like clientscript and images) to the CDN.
- Use vB Relevant Replacements (RRs) for some of the ones not easily done with mod_rewrite.
We are actually using both Mirror Buckets (for dynamic images like avatars) and HotCache for static ones.
Prices are currently around 4 cents per GB/month for MirrorBucket and cheaper for HotCache if you have 4TB per month plus of content delivered (not cost effective for forums serving less CDN traffic, but cheaper than many others...)

With MirrorBuckets, you don't need to host anything. It automatically grabs any file that is not currently in the CDN from the origin server (provide the path is the same... a mirror..)
