Indeed, it's arguably OTT to look up anything per-request if you're cacheing in-memory. But it begs the question: if lookup is a performance issue, wouldn't a switch to DBM Rewritemaps be the obvious fix? > I'd welcome any feedback anyone could offer on this proposal.

Speaking from a position of ignorance on the workings of RewriteMap, I think I like it. And if you're offering to do the work, it sounds like a good offer to me. So that's a cautious +1.
