What I ended up doing with this is just delegation.

The old virtual hosts proxies requests using mod_rewrite to a delegation
method in the application running at the new virtual host that just points
to the endpoint and the local_id of the new virtual host.

e.g. for demo:

http(s)://people.demo.extension.org/[blah]

=>

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*images.*
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*stylesheets.*
[...] bunch of other controller exceptions
    RewriteRule ^/(.*)
http://pubsitedev.extension.org/opie/delegate/$1 [L,P]

=> HTTP/1.1 200 OK

...
<link rel="openid2.provider openid.server" href="
https://pubsitedev.extension.org/opie" />
<link rel="openid2.local_id openid.delegate" href="
https://pubsitedev.extension.org/people/jayoung" />


I have to maintain a virtual host configuration for perpetuity that does the
proxy, and I had to write a controller method to handle the proxy request
(and give it knowledge about the host names for the endpoint and local_id) -
but that's a relatively small price to pay for working :-)
