Charles, Thanks for the information. I will surely take a look at mod_proxy in detail. I believe I would still need to use mod_perl to invoke the perl script I have to do the processing.
So if I understand, I could use mod_proxy and mod_perl in conjunction with each other. MOD_PROXY would provide me with filtering capabilities while MOD_PERL would let me invoke perl script to do the processing. Please correct me if I am wrong.
