Not exactly. For a normal CDN, your webpage HTML directs the client directly to the CDN server, which in theory already has the object. Only if it doesn't have the object does it need to go get it, but there isn't an extra lookup. The CDN does it's direction magic via DNS or IP routing, not with double lookups.
