We specifically tried using CloudFront, solely for it's ability to serve as the target in an ALIAS record. However, CloudFront is useless for dynamic sites because it does not support passing the original Host header back to the origin. Any site that serves localized content (including localized redirects) is doomed by this inadequacy.

I'll pass this on to the CloudFront team. CloudFront distributions are free, so would it be possible to use a different distribution for each hostname? Or is this more of a wildcard set up?
