Attachments on another server

Hi there Guys,
I posted the following over to vbulletin.org but no help so I'm here trying to the same thing.

I have recently moved to another host and the way I'm heading we will be needing a dedicated box sometime soon which I want to try and extend out a bit if need be.

My thinking is remain on the same plan but offload all images ie attachments, avatars, basically anything graphic related to another server with another host so I can simply use that provider for cheap storage.

So my understanding is the site will load with one host but thumbnails and attachments will come from the other provider.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated, I have searched around but unable to find anything in concrete as yet.

Thanks

Cheers
Darren

I know vBulletin has the ability to use separate DB servers transparently in the back ground, but I'm not sure how to handle files in vBulletin so they are served separately.

I just read the other day at the apache site that this could be very efficient, but the details on setting it up were vague in that discussion. Then add in vB and I got lost.

But I am curious to follow your progress.

No progress at this stage but I'm still hunting around, I didn't think it would be this hard in all honesty.

If I do find anything of interest I'll be sure to popup how.

I dont think this is not possible by default and would require third party code or modifications to the vb code. Im not sure if there is something on vb.org for this or not

i donno if it possible, but if you set vb up in Debug mode there are attachemnts settings, you might wanna check it out.....
