I was thinking of using HttpClient. Configuration - I am somewhat undecided.
I like urlrewrite. Its also a BSD licence - so if we use their rules as a
starting point - are we legally OK? (I think the answer is yes)

Hey Tim,
Have you see this fine mod_rewrite filter at http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/.
What you mean, can we use the common httpclient for backend proxy
implementation?
It has a stable pooling with keepalive handling and http/https support.

Here is more detail of what I was pondering with the reverse proxy.
Topic - Extend the balancer webapp to allow for reverse proxy
Description
-------------
Write a 2.4 compliant Servlet Filter which will allow tomcat (or any
other compliant engine) to act as a reverse proxy.
Constraints
-----------
- Use no tomcat internal specific api's
- Allow for other filters to wrap this so caching would be allowed
- Allow for pluggable proxy rules much like the balancer is implemented
Rules to create
-----------
- simple match rule which is one-to-one mapping back to a single
server based on a URL prefix
Nice to haves
-------------
- Use a pool of connections to take advantage of keep-alive capabilitites
- A partner caching filter which can cache to memory/disk/???
- A partner filter which can provide rudimentary content rewriting for
hosts which return an incorrect hostname
- cluster rule - So tomcat fronts a cluster of servers for the
following scenarios 1) round robin 2) random 3) sticky

I think there should be proposals, like this one which seems good,
then have a vote on all these.
Please be quick for the proposals as there's a deadline, apparently,
so I'd say this needs to be wrapped up and the wiki edited by the end
of next week.
