I use a similar rule to pass dynamic page requests to a separate apache 
process

<VirtualHost blah>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.(cgi|pl|sh|shtml|php))$ http://127.0.0.1:80/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/(.*\.(cgi|pl|sh|shtml|php)\?.*) http://127.0.0.1:80/$1 [P]
</VirtualHost>

I have two apache processes, one listening on the external interface and 
one listening on localhost. Both on port 80. I did it this way because 
for some reason the browser sometimes gets redirected to the backend 
server's port (which if isn't 80 would look quite funny in the location 
bar).
