Ruby Forum NGINX > How to write a module to redirect a request to specific server by uri?

Hello:
I want to write a module to redirect a request to a specific server by 
uri. when received a request, I need to calculate the secific server's 
ip with the number in the uri.
I have tried the function of ngx_http_internal_redirect(), but it seems 
useless to redirect a request to another server. Is there any function 
can do this?
My purpose is similar to the rewrite module with  the directive of 
"permanent " , but I can't quite understand the rewrite module, 
especially the function of ngx_http_rewrite_handler(). Can I just modify 
the some members in the struct of ngx_http_request_t?

thank you fo any help.

You can set in module variable, then use it in config

proxy_pass     http://$varibale_set_by_module;

P. S. Don't forget about some auth, to don't make open proxy...
