Well, with Apache you can do an internal redirect by using a Location header, but no Status header (and not give an absolute URL, i.e., no http://). I'd worry about security if that was an issue -- you could probably figure it out okay, but it's a little fuzzy who can access what. Of course, you can also use os.popen and friends, instead of transferring control entirely. Otherwise I'd just do like Geoff suggested, and do an external redirect, perhaps communicating through a database or text file.
