Comment(by jimmcq):

 I'm not really following how I can define UPLOADS to be a path completely
 outside of the Wordpress install with '''$dir = ABSPATH . UPLOADS;'''

 That puts it right back under the Wordpress install.

 ----

 Also I don't see how to have the upload_url point to a different server
 with '''$url = trailingslashit( $siteurl ) . UPLOADS;'''

 What am I missing here and how can the UPLOADS constant help me around
 that?
