# === Using asset hosts

# By default, Rails links to these assets on the current host in the public
- # folder, but you can direct Rails to link to assets from a dedicated assets server by
- # setting ActionController::Base.asset_host in your <tt>config/environment.rb</tt>. For example,
- # let's say your asset host is <tt>assets.example.com</tt>.
+ # folder, but you can direct Rails to link to assets from a dedicated asset
+ # server by setting ActionController::Base.asset_host in the application
+ # configuration, typically in <tt>config/environments/production.rb</tt>.
+ # For example, you'd define <tt>assets.example.com</tt> to be your asset
+ # host this way:
#
# ActionController::Base.asset_host = "assets.example.com"
+ #
+ # Helpers take that into account:

- # This is useful since browsers typically open at most two connections to a single host,
- # which means your assets often wait in single file for their turn to load. You can
- # alleviate this by using a <tt>%d</tt> wildcard in <tt>asset_host</tt> (for example, "assets%d.example.com")
- # to automatically distribute asset requests among four hosts (e.g., "assets0.example.com" through "assets3.example.com")
