mod_substitute is included in later Apache's and does a great job.  I
actually like it better than mod_proxy_html, since the latter has a
tendency to rewrite a _lot_ of stuff to make it "valid" HTML/XHTML.

Not that that's necessarily a terrible thing, but sometimes I just want
to change what I told it to change...

I used the SRPM from RHWAS to update to the latest Apache on EL5.
