the thumbnails are called with /typo3/thumbs.php.
I have not found any hook or XClass in it.
Do I have to change the core to replace this file?

but only for the FE?
I solved the FE-usage: see below.

that is a similar usage than mine. as my TYPO3 only provide snippets and 
is not reachable from outside I *must* access all images on the 
imageserver, and also the resized images.
As my editors can access only our own CEs (fluidcontent) I have the full 
control to change domain and path (resizing) to any image before it is 
transfered to the shop which includes the snippets.

but navigating the server (to be exact: the local sync-source, which is 
mounted to the TYPO3-server) is a pain because of the hundreds and 
thousands of images in some folders. And all those image are thumbnailed 
by TYPO3 and these thumbnails are stored localy beside the mount.
