Re: Help with apache mod_rewrite

Im not sure about mod_proxy, but if you are using httpd2 you can write a
small mod_perl TransHandler to do the job:

http://ziya.suzen.net/2007/09/url-rewriting-with-modperl.html

if you do a lot of web programming, mod_perl is worthwhile learning, you
can do a lot of cool things with it. Basically all the httpd2 internals are
exposed to mod_perl.
