In our setup we use mod_rewrite for things like that. It checks for
static resources in the few places and if there is no custom version
finally looks in the some standard location (images, css, javascripts,
any static resources etc ...). In the dual frontend/backend setup I
think this approach is better -- requests for static resources
may still be served by light frontend server.
