[TYPO3-dam] fileadmin use in DAM

[Dan Osipov]

Yes, we'll have fileadmin directory symlinked to an iSCSI, but we'd like 
to offload Apache on the main server and serve media files (images and 
videos) via another server (domain.com for Typo3, media.domain.com for 
everything in fileadmin).

So what do you think? Possible?
