Hi Mark, I would be inclined to create a controller and have an action on it that serves up a random image.
This would make your static URL something like http://photo.website.com/random/pic Create a controller called random, and an action called pic (you can call these anything, or even use the default index action). In your action, just pick a random image and serve it back to the browser. We do something similar, without the randomness to serve images to external applications.
