Your idea is basically fine, except you should pick a character other than=
=20
|, because that character is special in a rewritemap (used to
designate a default value).  (Perhaps it doesn't matter if it is in
quotes; I've never tried this myself.)

But you worry me a little when you talk about all the stuff you are
doing in your RewriteMap.  These programs should be extremly simple
because they run as root, and they are a choke point in that only one
request at a time can be processed through the RewriteMap.
