#13: Configlet to specify alternative server
- Contents
Since Zope is not very good at serving up large media files, it should be possible to specify an alternative server from which the files will be served.

Motivation
Even with iterator support, Zope is not a speed demon when it comes to serving up large files. For this reason, it should be possible for the site administrator to specify in a configlet that they want to have the files served from an alternate address.
Proposal
For example, if my site is: www.mysite.com
I should be able to specify: files.mysite.com where files is an Apache virtual host that has read access to $INSTANCE/var/files.
Then in the templates we need to check to see if this is set, and if so rewrite the URL to use files.mysite.com instead of www.mysite.com.
