Thank you all for your help!<br>I have decided to launch an HttpService on another port that allows access to the directory with all my image files. I have the second server running but I haven't tested it yet. Since the 'Seaside Tutorial' outlines much the same concept using Apache I am optimistic that it will work. <br>

I like having all resources version-controlled together with the code that uses them. You can then lazily cache them on the front-end server to avoid hitting the Seaside service if you wish, just make sure the URLs have version identifier in them if you intend of running multiple versions of the application at the same time on the same domain.<br>
