This might also help, done starting at the root of where the files may 
be expected to occur:
    find . -type f -exec perl -p -i.bak -e 
's!http://(.*\.?)domain.com/images!/images!g' {} \;

This is a find(1L) command, looking for normal files, and on each 
executing (-exec) the perl(1) one-liner (by way of the -e) to edit the 
file given to the exec function (via the {} ) in-place (-i),  making a 
backup (with the extension .bak), looking thru the file (via the -p), 
executing a substitution (s) for all instances on the line (g), using 
the '!' as a seperator, replacing "http://"; followed by zero or more of 
any character, followed by 0 or 1 '.', followed by "domain.com/images/" 
with the string "/images/". (Single quotes were necessary above to 
prevent the shell from attempting to interpret the '!'s, although 
another character could also be used as a seperator for the values in 
the substitution.)

While YMMV, I hope that helps.
