Virtual Directories

Hello -

This has got to be very common:

I've got a list of directories:

http://www.example.com/foo
http://www.example.com/bar
http://www.example.com/.....

These directories don't exist in the web root but map to the real location
on the file system:

/var/customers/12345
/var/customers/12346
/var/customers/.....

... (location determined by a database/memcached lookup).

Assuming my code can look in an existing database/memcache with the
requested URI segment, can someone suggest the lightest/fastest ways to
accomplish this or provide a decent link to a better discussion?

Thanks in advance!!

Some options:
- mod_rewrite
- PerlTransHandler
- PerlResponseHandler that sends the actual file

If you can use mod_rewrite, that's the lightest option.
