>From what I could make out, I think you should be able to use backhand
only within certain <Location> sections, and therefore have a request come
in outside of that, rewrite it to a backhand enabled location and have
backhand do its thing. Should work, but you'd have to try it.
Alternatively write your own decision module for backhand. There's even a
mod_perl module to do so (although apparently it needs patching for the
latest version of mod_backhand).
