How to save rewriting rules in a database?

Question

I am developing a new site, and I would like to keep my rewrite rules in the database, and not directly in the .htaccess files.

I have another site that uses Opensef ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/opensef/ ) using Joomla! who does it, but im not even 100% how it works under the hood.

How can I store these rules in a database, query them on request and reassign them to a clean URL if it is found? Is there a better way to do this instead of loading the .htaccess file (maybe 1000 entries)?

Thanks,

You were pretty subtle in the details of what a "new site" is, but you might want to create a Front Controller for your application, and it takes care of all the incoming URLs. Many (most?) Web applications use this approach.
