FEAR!!!

There are some, but they don't work as advertised, they eff up a *lot*,
and the wierdnesses are in an upper class of 'wierd'.

That said,

I've tried all 4.  I stopped using all of them for one reason or another
- mostly due to conflicts with other Apache modules or just plain
'no-worky'.  One or another simply were not fit for the need I had to
fill.

However, you might be able to make one work and do what you need it
to...
