This is how we normally run things at Untyped, except we use
mod_rewrite.  Here is an example section from an Apache configuration
file:

  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteLog "/var/log/apache2/rewrite.log"
  RewriteLogLevel 1

These rules catch stuff we want Apache to serve

  RewriteRule ^/error(/?.*)$   /error$1                     [L]
  RewriteRule ^/help(/?.*)$    /help$1                      [L]
  RewriteRule ^/images(/?.*)$  /images$1                    [L]
  RewriteRule ^/style(/?.*)$   /style$1                     [L]
...

Finally, send everything else to the PLT web server, which runs on port 8765

  RewriteRule ^(/?.*)$         http://localhost:8765$1      [P]

If you have this issue you should look at, for example, the
dispatch.plt package on PLaneT.
