Hi,

I think that the MediaTemple's CDN is just a branded version of the
EdgeCast CDN which we use without any problems to serve static files.

http://mediatemple.net/webhosting/procdn/

As this is an 'origin pull' CDN it was far simpler to implement than
S3 or Cloudfiles as we don't need to upload any content using the API.
Just use the STATIC_URL template tag, when referencing static files
and then in the production settings.py make sure that STATIC_URL is
prefixed with the URL for the CDN.

Cheers,
Mark.
