I want to setup two machines: one will handle static pages, the second will handle CGI scripts. I would like all clients to connect to the first machine, which will use mod_rewrite to transparently proxy requests for CGIs to the second. This seems like it would as simple as RewriteRule /(.*\.cgi)$ http://cgi-backend/$1 [P] but this fails for CGI scripts that use PATH_INFO. I have written a Perl script that, when used as a RewriteMap, fakes knowing whether or not a request is for a CGI by walking backwards through a path until it finds a directory or file that exists. However, this has the drawback that I need to map URLs to local paths manually with RewriteRules, and then convert the path back to a URL for proxying if the path references a CGI. I imagine there has to be some better way to do this. Is there some way, for example, that I could tell, using a RewriteCond, if a request would result in a CGI being executed? If not, what is the recommended way to implement the described setup?
