Replying to my own email as I've found that this is in fact working 
provided the URLS are http and not https. Proxied HTTPS requests use 
CONNECT and, for whatever reason, this appears to bypass the url 
rewriter.  I'm looking in to it some more but, given that a very large 
part of the world is HTTPS these days, it may be that I need to look at 
another option for this requirement.

Any ideas still greatly appreciated.

Martin.
