However would it not make more sense to just set up a second rsync target and explicitly exclude *DVD* or something akin to that so that those not wanting the DVD's got everything BUT the dvd isos? That might be a lot quicker and simpler than doing a hard linked set of trees.
Yes, that is fine. We hardlink the trees for other reasons (although they escape me at the moment :)
Both are pretty ridiculous, quite frankly.
Settle on a standard --exclude pattern, and you don't need two trees of any sort.
Currently, I believe --exclude *-DVD.iso should work, but --exclude *-DVD*.iso might be a better (future-proof) pattern.
One can easily export two different rsync modules with and without DVD images, if that's at all desirable, simply by putting the exclude pattern in rsyncd.conf.
