Sure.

I use rewriting for all my CGI apps, which are by default (with
Apache) kept in /cgi-bin.  So, for example, I map requests for the URL
"http://www.markbaker.ca/2002/09/Blog/" to
"http://www.markbaker.ca/cgi-bin/blosxom".  This is done transparently
from the client's POV; no redirects required.

I understand that there are third party plugins which do basically the
same thing for IIS.
