That's not what you originally asked.

Anyway, three solutions, from the most sensible
to the least:
* Set up proxy exceptions in your browser preferences
* Use mod_cache for your local copies
* Use mod_rewrite - probably a rewritemap.

Unless of course your real purpose is to block crap like
animated images, in which case maybe the rewritemap makes
good sense (I use my ADSL router to do that).
