dynamic web page rewrite

Perhaps someone would have some ideas how best to do the following...

I am wanting to rewrite HTML tags for any pages coming from a
particular site calendering site that a department at my college set up
with an off site service (applying my style sheet).

A little bit of background for better understanding - the
service/software they use is utilitarian and leaves aesthetics with
something to be desired - not the best professional image.

When people view the event calender pages, I want them to see it in my
rewritten version, with my style sheet applied.

I have explored using a http proxy like FilterProxy to rewrite the
pages, but I'm not sure how to pull pages through it with out having to
have the users browsers configured.
I have a LAMP server running SUSE at my disposal.

Is there a way, via a link, to send a request to a site through a
proxy?
E.g The user clicks on the link that has the effect of the proxy
requesting the off site page and replying with the altered version?

Yes, I could have them switch calenders - but I wanted to explore this
option.
Any ideas on how this could be pulled off?

A server side script that pulled the code from the calander site and (a)
replaced any relative image etc... links appropriately and (b) replaced the
styles etc...

Messy but possible.

The client then requests from your server which in turn requests the code
from the third party, alters it on the fly and provides it to the client.

Or someone might have a better and/or client based solution.

HTH,

silly me, Google is my friend, and I keep forgetting that...
Quoted from the web:

The routing table is set up via the configuration files
/etc/sysconfig/network/routes and /etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-*. All
the static routes required by the various system tasks can be entered in
the /etc/sysconfig/network/routes file: routes to a host, routes to a
host via a gateway, and routes to a network. For each interface that
needs individual routing, define an additional configuration file:
/etc/sysconfig/network/ifroute-*. Replace * with the name of the
interface. The entries in the routing configuration files look like this:

DESTINATION GATEWAY NETMASK INTERFACE [ TYPE ] [ OPTIONS ]
DESTINATION GATEWAY PREFIXLEN INTERFACE [ TYPE ] [ OPTIONS ]
DESTINATION/PREFIXLEN GATEWAY - INTERFACE [ TYPE ] [ OPTIONS ]

To omit GATEWAY, NETMASK, PREFIXLEN, or INTERFACE, write - instead. The
entries TYPE and OPTIONS may just be omitted.

The route's destination is in the first column. This column may contain
the IP address of a network or host or, in the case of reachable name
servers, the fully qualified network or host name.

The second column contains the default gateway or a gateway through which
a host or a network can be accessed. The third column contains the
netmask for networks or hosts behind a gateway. The mask is
255.255.255.255, for example, for a host behind a gateway.

The last column is only relevant for networks connected to the local host
such as loopback, ethernet, ISDN, PPP, and dummy device. The device name
must be entered here.
