My apologies if this question is something of a moronic indulgence but
I feel compelled to ask it:
Has anyone thought through, or put into practice, using Apache
mod_rewrite tables for this simple "redirect one URL to another" use

The n2t.net resolver is using RewriteMap (and ordinary RedirectMatch)
directives to make Apache tap into the BerkeleyDB database that Noid
runs on.
Brian's reverse proxy approach for a given server does help in keeping
the browser's location bar correctly showing the more bookmarkable link.
With n2t.net (and ezid) we're working on a way to make it easier to
resolve ids to get current provider information (Karen's issue).
