It should be possible. What you would have to do is run a local (unmodified) instance of the main Libravatar codebase, but then you would have to hardcode the URL for it (e.g. http://avatars.intranet.example.com) when generating avatar URLs in your applications.

Because if you use one of the existing libraries for getting the avatar URLs, then they will do a DNS lookup and fallback to libravatar.org.

Thank you! And what about brosew_id/persona stuff? Is it necessary to work properly offline?
