Yes it is. Proxy I would like to avoid because of overhead but I tried 
with mod_rewrite. I try with nonexistant URLs first so that I can see 
the 404 warning:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/$ /nonexistant

is ignored. This matches:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^$ /nonexistant

I get a 404 not found error. So I tried

RewriteRule ^$ /index.php/Main_Page

instead. But I again get redirected to
http://www.example.com/index.php/Main_Page

:-( :-(

One more idea?

Thank you very much.
Luke
