How will you access/manage objects outside of '/articles'?  Using a different
domain name? a different port? the raw IP address?

In any case, the SiteAccess Product will do what you want.  You can make a
DTML Method in your root containing:

<dtml-if expr="...decide whether to rewrite this request...">
  <dtml-call expr="REQUEST.path.append('articles')">
</dtml-if>

and set it up as an Access Rule.
