I am using MediaTemple web hosting and they are using Edgecast's CDN network. I am planning to join CDN service, so I read through the guide, but I am confused about the 'Update your code' section:

Does the CDN apply to my website automatically (without editing HTML) after I updated the DNS zone file? How can I control which files going through the CDN or not?

Also, I need to make sure it won't affect the Google Analytics results.

Yes, it applies to your website automatically. However if you want more control, then you need to "research more advanced configurations" (as they say) yourself, or ask in the forums.

One drawback with not doing anything else is


The default caching time for static content is 7 days. This means that
when you upload a new version of a file on your origin server, it
won't be immediately visible over the ProCDN. ...


I wouldn't have thought it would affect Analytics, as Google's code is being loaded from their servers anyway, and if it's in the HTML files it doesn't matter which server it's actually coming from. I'd monitor it though to see if the number of visits change, for example.
