You can just use a squid external redirector (jesred, pyredir, squirm, or custom) to get the same kind of thing out of Squid as you would expect from mod_rewrite; then, that means you are using the same mechanism for Zope virtual hosts as you are for URL rewriting. I'm not sure if Apache buys one anything more in the rewrite dept.
You are right that mod_rewrites capabilities are equivalent to a squid redirector. My configuration actually uses a squid redirector anyway (to dispatch between different Zope servers) so I am paying double the performance penalty :-( Toby Dickenson tdickenson@geminidataloggers.com
