Hi I'm trying to build a website where users can upload images. I am wanting to have a seperate media server to host the images, so that the web application can point to the images like
mediaserver.mysite.com/test123.jpg
And the webserver
www.mysite.com
What I am wondering is how can this work if both the media server and the web server are sitting behind a router? I.e. there is only one port 80 available so the mediaserver can't be addressed over HTTP.
Also, the user should be able to cal up mediaserver.mysite.com/test123.jpg
and view the image
Well ideally the user would call up
www.mysite.com/media/test123.jpg
But ultimately the media is served from another server that could be located on an entirely different network than mysite.com
EDIT: I'm using Django on Apache for the web server and lighttpd for the media.
THANKS!
