I've never seen htaccess control a favicon... it might be possible but I never saw it.

I would think a php script to randomly copy a file from a set directory and name it favicon.ico in the web root as a cron job wold be best.

You can still send your own HTTP headers to try and control it.

Google Calendar is actually a cool example: it shows today's date as the favicon assuming you view it on that day.
