If the URL's have a distinct pattern, mod_rewrite is the first tool you
should use. If you need something more arbitrary, you might want to take
a look at CamoAlias, a script of mine that lets you set up completely
arbitrary URL's. It's under a BSD license so you can do pretty much
whatever you want to with it.

CamoAlias - http://www.wynia.org/articles/camoalias.html

Which, incidentally is an alias for:
http://www.wynia.org/wordpress/2005/10/25/camoalias-ditch-tinyurl-for-the-exact-urls-you-want/

Which is actually a mod_rewrite setup for something more like
