Following on from this, it seems that the PerlTransHandler looked like my best bet, but it doesn’t seem to be able to alter the hostname (please correct me if there is a way to do this, as I struggled with it so far)
I guess mod_rewrite allows the hostname to be altered, but I need to intercept the request and perform access checks, and I don’t know if I can do this before mod_rewrite kicks in during the request lifecycle.
With mod_perl 2, you can use
http://search.cpan.org/dist/Apache-Filter-HTTPHeadersFixup/
which is perfect for proxying as it does the work long before mod_rewrite kicks in. This module is a connection level filter.
