CaRP won't take care of caching the images for you--it doesn't load anything external to the RSS feed, but just generates HTML to point your web browser to it. For anyone who doesn't have internet access to be able to see the images, you'd need to create another application to cache the images, and update the URLs in the feed to point to the cached images. I can imagine that CaRP could be of help--you could have it set the feed up for display for anyone who DOES have an internet connection, but then do this:

CarpConf('outputformat',2);

Then, when CaRP was done processing the feed, the HTML would be stored in $carpoutput. Your code would then need to look for any <img> tags in $carpoutput, get the URL out of the "src" attribute, cache the image, and modify $carpoutput to put the URL of the cached image into the HTML, and finally, output the modified $carpoutput.
