Were you ever able to find the time to finish the vps.net cdn plugin?

I did download W3 Total Cache, and it appears that I can use it with highwinds. I was just unsure whether or not you had even further tricks up your sleeves with your plugin.

That is a significant overhead that slowed my pages down significantly.VPS.Net said that Highwinds will be removing HTTP redirect and replace it with DNS redirect in December.In my opinion VPS.Net / Highwinds are not a good solution for web pages with several/many small images, until they keep using HTTP redirects.Or may be you know something to get it work fast that I and the Technical Support at VPS.Net do not know?

I will check out the W3 Total Cache plugin to get myself familiar with what it is able to do. I'm glad to hear that this is not a dead project and is one you are still working on. I'll keep checking back from time to time for updates. This blog has so much great information that I am here at least weekly if not more often. @Joost - Thank you for the information.

So, if you want to run this whole stuff right now because you really need it, and don't want to wait for all the stuff we're working on, go with NetDNA and W3 Total Cache. If so you should contact NetDNA through their <a href="http://www.netdna.com/contact_us.php" rel="nofollow">contact form</a> and mention this blog post, they'll know who to hook you up with.(Btw the new stuff we're working on will <em>also</em> require you to use W3 Total Cache, as that's the plugin we've chosen to go with and Frederick, its developer, is an awesome guy and the first to really get WordPress to perform as magical as it does like, for instance, here).

I am already prepared with compression and caching scripts. I am already in a level3 datacenter with my own colo cluster. I am now looking at taking the next step to using a cdn, and this plugin talked about here would simplify my life considerably.I'm guessing that this many months later it must indeed be a dead project, or one he simply wants to keep to himself.
