Er, maybe. I assume you mean something along the line of a tree-forwarding
redirect instead of the fixed Location. To do that, you would need to define
some form of pattern-replacement rule for the value, e.g.
Redirect: http://site/prefix http://newsite/newprefix
for simple prefix replacement. I'm not sure if that is worth the bother.
We would also need some guarantee that such a response only came from
the owner of <http://site/>, since things like a third-party
Redirect: http://www.gop.com/ http://house-o-porn/
would be problematic.
