Easily, with named routes.

I'm pretty sure you could do it with mod_rewrite rules. And that
would keep your routes.rb smaller, so 'better' in that sense. OTOH,
it's probably a worthwhile effort to do it with routes first, just to
make sure you identify any edge cases. My advice would be to make the
final decision based on your Apache config experience / comfort level.
Mine's minimal ;-)

Best regards,
Bill
