It's not a DW behavior, but it's simple enough to do.

Put this in the head of the document -

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function displayRandomImage(imageName,array){
document.images[imageName].src=array[new Date().getTime()%array.length];
}
urls=["images/cs1.jpg","images/cs2.jpg","images/cs3.jpg","images/cs4.jpg"]
// load this line with your image names and paths
//-->
</script>

and then put this in the body of the page -

<body onLoad="displayRandomImage('csmember',urls)">
<!-- csmember is the HTML NAME (not the filename) of the image receiving the
random changes -->

You can see this in action here -
