DNS is not the right level to be doing that unless you know that the  
images are actually served from a different server than the other  
content on the site (which is unlikely).

An HTTP proxy, Squid in particular, will be the right tool.  About a  
year ago, I saw a description where someone had put in a filter in  
Squid to blur or rotate all images.  The screen shots of that where  
hilarious, but I can't remember exactly where this was posted.
