its a matter of building a simple cache. all you need is a servlet
that can check if the image is on disk and if not download it, then
serve it from there
mount the servlet on /external and rewrite your urls to be
/external?url=<imageurl>
there are probably already things like this for apache, you just have
to rewrite the url so it passes through your site and doesnt go
directly to the external one.

that can check if the image is on disk and if not download it, then
serve it from there
mount the servlet on /external and rewrite your urls to be
/external?url=<imageurl>
there are probably already things like this for apache, you just have
to rewrite the url so it passes through your site and doesnt go
