If so, how much slower would it work? Ordinary load balancing should work for one DNS-name small sites. I never know the implications of running huge Wikipedia. One domain has one advantage, usually the bigger the site is, the higher ranks it has (of course, in case the information is not junk). I guess Wikipedia counts not like small sities. Using action names instead of /wiki/ also is a great idea. /wiki/ looks a bit redundant.
