No, that works perfectly.  You do the lookup the way it's done now (or 
some other way, it doesn't really matter for this point).  When you get 
an index number from the external database, you save both the index 
number and a tag saying which database.  Then any future use of that 
index number will be restricted to only use that database, so you won't 
get images from the wrong database.  One option would be to prepend a 
tag for the database to the numbers. Another would be to have a separate 
field.  I can see advantages to both approaches, and it doesn't really 
matter how it's done, as long as it solves the problem.

Relying on how people name their files to avoid mixing up between 
databases is crazy.  Sure, there are advantages to having files named 
correctly, but that doesn't excuse the bug.
