It can also be done (unreliably) with JavaScript/frames. I would never use this approach, but the idea is similar to what some domain name registrars use for what is called "stealth forwarding" (giving the appearance of mapping one URL to another without a true IP mapping).
The trick is simply to create a frameset with one giant frame occupying the entire window. You simply have all of the action happening in the frame (where the URL is not displayed), and use JavaScript to change the value of the browser's actual URL.
This doesn't truly hide the querystring since any competent user can view the source code or disable the frames, but it might achieve the effect you want.

Howdy, If you want to do this at all, you will definitely need Apache. I'm not even sure you could do it with Apache with 100% success. You will need to do a lot of rewriting and some other rules, maybe converting GET requests to POSTs with the query string parsed into form parameters or something like that.This type of request is against the spirit of the HTTP protocol in some ways ;) What is your design goal? If you share some more details perhaps people can help you arrive at the same goal via a better way...
