You could defined a different port in your img tags. Then you can start
thttpd to bind to that port. You shouldn't have a problem binding to ports
higher that 1024(?) I think. Unless they have done something to prevent
this which is doubtful.
Example:
img src="http://www.foo.com:/test/test.gif"
Unfortunately it could mean changing lots of code on your site. Of course,
you could use something like Apache::filter to alter your image tags on the
way out. I don't think this would be a difficult issue though. The main
thing is if you can bind to ports over 1024.
I have a high traffic website (looks like 200 GB output per month,
something around 10-20 hits per day) hosted on a commercial
service. The service does not limit my bandwidth usage, but
they limit the
number of concurrent Apache process that I can have to 41. This
causes the
server to delay accepting new connections during peak times.
My account is a "virtual server"; what this means is that I
have access to
the Apache httpd.conf files and can restart the Apache daemon,
but do not
have the priviledge to bind a program to port 80 (so I can't
put thttpd on
port 80).
