Hotlinking a whole site

Hi everyone.

I'm about to finish some stuff for the University of Granada, and their server is SLOW AS HELL. I tried running the same site running in a cheap (-80$/year) shared hosting and it runs about 20 times faster, according to XOOPS timers.

The customers know all this crap, but they are not allowed to run a site outside the University domain for bureaucratic/political reasons.

I had a Epiphany: running the site on my server and wrap all the HTML generated from the University site. That is, my shared hosting will make all the hard work. It's just like a hotlink for the whole site.

This task has three steps:

1 - Call the other site's equivalent URL:

http://www.universitysite.es/wuggamugga/...
->
http://www.myownsite.com/mycopyof-wuggamugga/...

2 - Wrap the content.

3 - Rewrite the content so all links in the wrapped HTML are updated and point to the original site instead of my copy site.

My question is: How can I do that, say it using apache rewritign rules or Apache rewriting + a PHP wrapper.

Thank you.
