I think that there's two basic approaches you could pursue: 1) Have the rotating image controlled by a javascript. It's not as wacky as you think, considering that the dates are already... Basically just put in a default image (as a background), and then have the onload event randomly switch it up.
2) Set Rails to output ".php" files in the cache, instead of ".html" I expect that PHP is a better server-side tool for this kind of simple task. (However, I could be wrong... and I'm not sure how to change the default extension on the output files...)
