I'd say it's oable, and we already "override" some DNS records
internally to redirect to internal node/mirror in the same network
(known example : mirrorlist.centos.org)

But the only question I have is about the dockerhub urls : are those
using tcp/443 and so TLS ? if so, that will not work as we can't
impersonate such server (and thanks to TLS btw). If they are only using
plain tcp/80 or tcp/5000 , that should work
