Yes, that's correct.
You use "last" when you want the updated url to go through location matching 
process again, and "break" when you don't.

Yes, in this situation you need a "last". However, I don't think it'll work 
with @ in the location, I think those are more like identifiers of locations, 
rather than actual locations to which you can append stuff. You can 
use /realpath/, as long as it's "internal" nobody will get there directly. I 
could be wrong, though.
