Is it possible to create thumbnails from images not stored on the site itself?

I have a site which is kind of a "blog directory", where bloggers write short posts as teasers for their own blogs. Usually, they just link to images on their blogs, and I would like to create thumbnails without making them upload their images to my site as well.

There has been a lot of discussions around that very feature; I am not sure this should be done by Teaser Thumbnail directly, more some aside functionality for ImageCache to handle remote pictures (with a local copy). Maybe http://drupal.org/node/251009...?

Thanks for the (very useful) reply, I've got some reading to do now :)
