A Possible Way Around Ad Blockers

Right now, I have a backlog of things to do but wanted to toss this idea out there.

Firefox blocks ads two ways:
1. They allow you to block all images from a specific server
2. They allow you to block specific banner images and iframes and flash ads.

What if we could put together a redirect script that makes it seem like the ads are coming from our server and all have a random image name?

This way, people wouldn't want to use the first method because it would block smilies, avatars and attachments. And, they wouldn't be able to use the second because it would be a different name each time.

Would this work in theory? And if so, does anybody want to take it on? A lot of forum owners are hobbyists who need the few pennies the banners bring in.
