Couldn't it go something like this:
<img src="
http://a.b.c.d/SomePhpCgiOrCScript.pgm?PhotoId=123"; />
Where SomePhpCgiOrCScript.pgm is just a script that reads the binary from
the image a few blocks at a time and writes it to stdout or equivalent. If
the file doesn't exist on the IFS, then the script could use the famous (and
fabulous) Scott Klement HTTP API to read the image one buffer length at a
time from another server and write it out to stdout. The PhotoId parameter
would just need to be sufficient to identify which image should be retrieved
and streamed out...
We don't use php here (so, not sure about what it does). The basic
problem I'm having is that I've a dynamic image file that I want to
display to the customer via our online app. But this image file is
behind our firewall.

Do you mean something as simple as below:
<img alt="Dynamic image" src="buildimage.php" />
Where the PHP script invokes the GD library to build an image. Or am I
missing something?
