Javascript Cross Subdomain XMLHTTPRequest

I'm researching a solution for a bandwidth intensive project I am working on. It involves doing POST and GET requests client side to different servers at different locations. All the servers are mine.

The reasoning behind this design is to prevent a single server/location from becoming too busy and slowing down due to the high bandwidth needs of the project. It mainly involves uploading and downloading large files.

With current technologies I would need to proxy these GET and POST requests server side due to the cross-site scripting restrictions. That is the very thing I want to avoid, since it would still utilize bandwidth at a single point.

I've been reading about emerging technologies such as CORS and JSON-P that appear to allow this function. I don't mind the solution being HTML5 only. I do however want to be able to use JQuery.

Is it correct to assume that these new technologies will allow the function I want? Where is the best place to start researching these two technologies? Which one is recommended?

You want CORS. JQuery will play fine with that. Old browsers, most notably IE<10 will not play nicely but if you can ignore those, go with CORS.
