Create a mapped network drive on each machine that points to a shared
folder somewhere.
Make sure that all the CF Servers can access the shared folder with write
permission.
Serve all image files with the path to the mapped network drive on the CF
Server. You can pretty easily create a server variable that points to the
path for the images if you have different drive letters on different servers.
filename shouldn't be an issue. Either the filename should be obvious - eg.
banner343.gif, or it should be stored in the database.
