  mod_rewrite, if used as proxy, relays the data in both directions
through itself -- in Apache you can't redirect to anything that is not a
URL, and only if target URL is in another [virtual] server, mod_rewrite
will send request to another process thus becoming a proxy.

  fhttpd does completely different thing -- once request is received and
parsed, file descriptor is copied to the chosen process, and parsed data
is passed to the same process. There is also a "relaying" mode where
parsed request is set to process, and response is relayed to the client,
however it's used only for remote modules and in situations where module
is incapable or not trusted to handle client's connection.
