What is best scenario for HLS serving, separated playlist/segment or not ?

I would like to implement the OTT service with apple HLS playbackURL, I wonder what is the best practice for serving HLS streaming to the player whether

  • Separated 2 endpoint between the playlist and segment(thus, playlist not cache at the middle layer even segment can be cached)

or

  • Use the same endpoint either playlist and segment, the playlist and segment will request to the same endpoint (playlist not cache at the middle layer even segment can be cached)

I suspecting the 1. scenario can cause the problem at application player site by make the video stream video and audio unsync or stream not smooth compared with scenario 2. Can somebody help for giving me the suggestion please.

Thank you
