Squid has a mechanism by which incoming URL's can be passed to an external program to be rewritten and the reverse proxy subsequently calls out to the rewritten URL

Is there a way to emulate this from within nginx

No, nginx does not support such rewriting. What exact functionality do you need ?

But how about with the perl-module?

It's possible:

--------- http {

perl_set $new '

sub { my $r = shift; my $uri = $r->uri;

return "/one/" if $uri =~ /1/; return "/two/" if $uri =~ /2/; return "/three/"; }

';

server { rewrite ^ $new;

---------

However, currently nginx could change URI only, it could not change the backend name.
