We had considered proxy requests before. But many of us felt its not
good idea to use proxy requests for re-requests. main reason was that
proxy-requests creates new connection to the main server.

I have not checked mod_rewrite code yet. so I would go through it and
if it seems to solve our problem then it would be great.

Thanks for your input.

You are right. I believe, that shouldnt be a problem.
