I've had lots of success with a light reverse proxy (httpd or squid) in

I like squid for this, as it's virtually drop-in and play.
I also prefer a reverse proxy to separate servers, but I generally prefer
httpd to squid mainly because I really like having mod_rewrite available,
just in case - it's really handy in a pinch and has gotten me out of a lot
of jams when unexpected situations arise...
Squid can pipe URIs to an arbitrary process (usually perl ;-) for rewriting.
All the power of perl, none of the power of sendmail...
