The path tricks you want are handled by Apache's mod_rewrite.

And handled well they are. I've really fallen in love with mod_rewrite, it is just so useful. I set up a demo server for our customers, where depending on the login name used, a completely different server will be presented to them. On the server-side, it's just subdirectories (makes it easy for us to manage them), but the clients are never aware that there's anything else on the server apart from what they're seeing. I also use it to redirect multi-language pages and setting environment variables according to the language selected.

Beware though. If you use internal redirects (like with mod_rewrite), you must also use a custom 404 handler that does not accidentally reveal your internal structure. The default 404 handler leaks the layout.
