use mod_proxy for specific filetypes (i.e. *.cgi)

Hi,

Can you use mod_proxy for specific content types.  For example, can I send
all requests for cgi to another machine?

Any pointers?

Thanks,
Phillip

With mod_rewrite.  As in:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.cgi$ http://otherhost.example.com/$1\.cgi [P]
