not sure how your pages are set up but we server our images dynamically so
that if you were to just copy the url from the img tag on the site you would
get a page that gets the image for you. That will allow you to do auth on
users that attempt to obtain resources. If you need a solution for CF like
advanced security that will run in a clustered environment check the one out
at http://www.netwebapps.com/products/securityManager/introduction.cfm the
custom tags it uses for authentication and authorization are free.
