Yes, you use an external script for the mapping... But it is a fairly
simple perl script. And the infinite loops are avoided by having the
actual URLs be off a separate tree - /lego/dat/model.dat could be
rewritten as /real-files/12351/58273/model.dat... And just have the
rewrite rule not apply to /real-files.

Fair enough. There are a number of alternatives out there, I believe.
I would not recommend writing your own, though, if more security is the
goal. Have you thought of stripping apache from all the modules you
don't need? It can get very very lean!
