Hi Phil,
When you do your bulk ingest, you can set the CONTROL_GROUP attribute on
the datastream tag to "E" to mean externally referenced content.
- From the FOXML reference example documentation:
DATASTREAM (E):
This datastream demonstrates "Externally Referenced Content"
(see
attribute CONTROL_GROUP=E). The contentLocation element points to
content on a external web server (meaning the content is not under the
custodianship of the Fedora repository). When repository access
requests are made for this datastream, the content bytestream will be
mediated by the Fedora repository service, meaning that Fedora will get
the content and return it to the client. The client will not be aware
of the true URL of the content.
From:
http://www.fedora.info/download/2.2.1/userdocs/digitalobjects/foxml_reference_example.xml
Hope that's useful.
Jason
