Thanks again for your time.

Ok, I'm with you with that (I need to read more carefully) ... but what
I would like to do, is pass all requests for files ending with .php (and
maybe .js and .ccs) to be forwarded to another server. Forwarding
everything would make the transition from php to nevow a tad more
difficult.  Would this 'selective' proxying be possible?
