Hey all , I’ve been using attachment\_fu for a while now and I love it, but recently I’ve been expanding and I have a setup on 2 servers, the first one is the application server and the second is the picture host. So I just setup my public/pictures directory as a NFS to my second server so uploaded pictures get saved to the second server. The trouble I have is the public\_filename method reads from [domain.com/](http://domain.com/) pictures/ and I need it to read from [pics.domain.com/pictures/](http://pics.domain.com/pictures/). I have all the DNS routing setup already but whenever I try to modify the public\_filename method it always prefixes with [domain.com/](http://domain.com/) and I just can’t figure out how to override the whole domain it reads from. Any help you could provide me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. ---

Okay i fixed it, can’t believe it took me this long to figure out. When i altered public\_filename i only didn’t prefix it with http:// i only did [pics.domain.com](http://pics.domain.com). sticking the http:// in there works just like I need.
