Unfortunately the forum software doesn't have the ability to specify a
"dedicated image host" (out of the box). It'll use the main website URL
for images.

But could mod_rewrite help here? Rewrite the URL to be img.domain.com,
for any images at a certain location (i.e. /forums/customavatars/)?
Would using mod_rewrite negate the benefits of using pound+ngnix to
serve the image content?

David.
