Seems this would be a good use of an Apache output filter. I don't think 
mod_ruby supports writing output filters yet but I think you can do so 
in perl or python.

If you really want ruby it sounds like a combination of mod_rewrite and 
a ruby script as Nick suggested would be your best route. You could also 
use mod_ruby as a handler that will handle all requests and use the 
request string to figure out what file to load. This would be similar to 
the mod_rewrite/script suggestion except your script is more integrated 
with Apache.
