I don't think we can accomplish what we need with mod_rewrite.  We need
/a/ in the address bar to manage cookie domains correctly.  We are
redirecting instead of rewriting for client-side reasons.

If we rewrite instead of redirecting, we end up with big cookies that
get sent with every request to the server.  By redirecting to /a/, our
cookies end up with the /a/ path and hence don't get sent with all the
requests to /bar.

Thanks,
Eric
