If you're using Apache, what about mod_rewrite? There's a whole guide to 
doing URL rewrites on the Apache site called (oddly enough :-) "Apache 1.3 
URL Rewriting Guide". I have a somewhat crusty print out sitting here with 
the following URL:  http://www.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html

I don't know that it'll do what you want but I think it will.
