If performance is an issue, why not fix the problem at the source?
ie. Edit your HTML on-disk..

Failing that, I suggest using mod_rewrite or a custom 404 handler. In 
either case, you detect that the URL looks like one that should be on 
the other server, and redirect them over there.

Lastly, if you're definitely going to filter every page, then I hope 
you're using a reverse-proxy to cache the results?
