Your idea is basically fine, except you should pick a character other than
|, because that character is special in a rewritemap (used to
designate a default value). (Perhaps it doesn't matter if it is in
quotes; I've never tried this myself.)
But you worry me a little when you talk about all the stuff you are
doing in your RewriteMap. These programs should be extremly simple
because they run as root, and they are a choke point in that only one
request at a time can be processed through the RewriteMap.
