There's two possible approaches that come to mind I suspect that you could do this with a combination of:
* mod_rewrite RewriteRule [P] (proxy) rules RewriteRule ^/issue[^A-Za-z0-9]?(\d+)$ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-$1 [P,L] ProxyPassReverse /issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ (Untested, but looks right) * mod_substitute, or mod_proxy_html rules to munge the content of the actual returned pages (For implementation help, perhaps a longer discussion not on this list would be warranted.) OR Work directly with Infra to make something like this happen with some kind of virtualhost mapping to issues.apache.org, or ... something.
