I think it's natural to wonder why you aren't using tools like mod_proxy
and mod_rewrite that specifically handle this problem and are widely
used.  You didn't mention anything that those modules can't do in your
previous message.  Many of us run a slim proxy server in front of
mod_perl, and avoid putting mod_perl into it so that we can avoid the
extra memory it would consume.

You have reasons for your choice, so that's fine, but the suggestions to
consider using mod_proxy were good suggestions given the information you
supplied.  I don't really want to see blind advocacy of mod_perl.
