CFLOCATION. The urls will still point to your real server, but then the server will redirect the browser to the media server. Although it will be fairly trivial to figure out the real urls.
If you want more security, you can install cf on the godaddy server and serve files that way. You will need to figure out a way to securely log in your clients to the media server from your main server, if you are looking to prevent unauthorized access. Otherwise the link to the cf file (with the media id or whatever it is you're using) is as good as the link to the media itself.
