[Pound Mailing List] Questions

Hi there

I am hosting a site (1 pound instance and 5 own load-balanced application
instances behind). Clients would connect
https://www.mywebsite/html/myapplication.html so Pound is terminating the
SSL -> Everything works like a charm.

Now I'd like to have the clients connect
https://www.mywebsite/myapplication.html. I read that I could do this using
a separate URL rewrite engine.

1) Where would this rewrite engine be placed? Before or after Pound? I am
concerned about where SSL would be terminated.
2) Does this have to be a webserver (apache) or are there other smaller
tools available to just do the URL rewriting (I am running Debian)?

Thanks & cheers,
Peter
