Yes, this currently isn't possible (AFAICT), because of how the 
http_rewrite_module's phase handler works, but it should be possible 
with easy modification of that, which will allow for recalling rewrites 
after subrequests.  I'm busy with other stuff right now, but I'll try to 
build the generic interface (if not the subrequest part) soon and 
include it in the first launched version of the NDK.
