mod_rewrite. (If the only tool you have is a hammer then everything looks
like a nail :-)

To start with try something like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule /([^/]+)(.*)$ http://$1$2 [P]

This will do nothing *except* proxy /xxx/ to http://xxx/ for any xxx, and
it's horribly insecure since it will happily proxy to anywhere. So you need
to tighten this up; if you can match all the domains by a regexp or a few,
e.g. if they all end in .foo.com, then do that:

RewriteRule /([^/]+\.foo\.com)(/?.*)$ http://$1$2 [P]

Otherwise, you may need to use a RewriteMap lookup in a .txt or .db database
to allow the requests.

Brian.
