Rewrite is your friend! Love it, breathe it, pet it.... For instance, I believe with something like ISAPI rewrite: http://www.isapirewrite.com/ the configuration file is loaded dynamically, so all you'd have to do is programatically add rewrite strings to the config file for each url you'd map to, or a servlet would probably work. Either way - it sounds like you need something that'll sit above your application that'll process the urls correctly and pass them off to your log files (for statistical tracking purposes).
