It still doesn't sound like a task for nginx to me.

If you want your OS file-cache to do busy-work to keep these files "hot",
do just that.

 while :; do
  find /var/www/html/images -type f -exec cat \{} > /dev/null +
  sleep 10
 done

I don't recommend it; but it's not my server.

Good luck with it,
