I think you could do it on a single (Apache) server with mod_rewrite. I
haven't tried it myself, but maybe something like:

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =MGET
    RewriteRule ^(/resource.*)$ /uriqa?=$1

which should redirect all MGETs to resources whose path start with
"/resource" to a CGI. I'm sure mod_rewrite allows a way to do that for
any arbitrary URI.
