That's an interesting idea.  I have written mod_perl code to modify a
Web page on the way through, to rewrite links to a new location.  It
went something like this in httpd.conf:

    <FilesMatch "\.(html?|js)$">
      PerlModule Apache::SiteMoved
      PerlModule Apache::Filter
      SetHandler perl-script
      PerlSetVar Filter On
      PerlHandler Apache::SiteMoved
    </FilesMatch>

and like this in lib/perl5/Apache/SiteMoved.pm:

    package Apache::SiteMoved;
    
    use Apache::Constants qw(:common :response);
    
    sub handler
    {
        my $r = shift;
    
        $r = $r->filter_register();
        $r->deterministic(1);
    
        my ($fh, $status) = $r->filter_input(); # Get status information
        return $status unless $status == OK;
        while (<$fh>)
        {
            s/(?:www\.)?old-site-name\.(?:com|net|org)/www.new-site-name.com/g;
            print;
        }
        return $status;
    }

If you could hook up a filter like this in the proxy, it could parse
the HTML, find IMG SRC commands, then fork off to a background process
to get them and put them in the cache (the easiest way would be to
just send requests for them to the Web server).

Hope that helps get you started,

-----Scott.
