[users@httpd] Rewriting absolute URLs

I have the following image:

	http://www.oursite/images/title.gif

Within a page I can access this image using an absolute URL as such:

	<img src="/images/title.gif" />

This works fine as long as everything stays where it is. We are in the 
process of changing hosting company at the moment and before our site 
goes live and DNS records are changed, we can only access our site using 
a URL as such:

	http://www.newhost.com/ourcompany/

This subsequently breaks all of our absolute URLs due to the 
'ourcompany/' section of the URL. Is there any way I can set up Apache 
(using a .htaccess files and mod_rewrite?) so that *all* absolute 
requests are rewritten to include the 'ourcompany/' section of the URL?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Neil
